Yeah, totally awesome! [/sarcasm]
Just because you might not like "upper management" is not a reason to dislike the company itself; it's made up of far more people than management who definitely will be feeling the pain of this loss. We gamers will also feel it because with them in a state of loss they definitely will make el-generico expansion pack 14 instead of unique games (like Renegade...). Unique games are risky, they could easily be complete flops...

With Westwood´s orginal version of Renegade and Renegade 2 they wouldnt die, faggots.

Renegade was a flop. Great game, but EA would probably be in a worse position if they continued with the Renegade series.
Renegade:

A company whose sole purpose is peddling luxury commodities like video games is taking losses in an economic recession? How can this be?!
Side note: all that DRM EA has been smoking for the past decade or so sure isn't helping any. Let 'em hurt; maybe they'll wise up and look at ways to increase actual sales instead of trying to decrease "lost sales" by pissing off the paying customers. Here's a shocker: happy customers buy more stuff!
"Arms discourage and keep the invader and plunderer in awe, and preserve order in the world as well as property. Horrid mischief would ensue were (the law-abiding) deprived of the use of them." - Thomas Paine
Remember, kids: illiteracy is cool. If you took the time to read this, you are clearly a loser who will never get laid. You've been warned.

This is bad and I see no reason to be happy about EA's losses. EA has the rights to Command & Conquer; I would hope they get through this and be profitable again.

Good answers on both sides, but i didn't get the replies i was hoping such as:
"Its Clinton's fault" or, how much they will recieve from Obama to make sure the bigwigs get their bonuses...
but seriously, we should thank EA for buying Westwood before the Duke Nukem team got ahold of them...
in closing, if any of us were smart enuf to know how a company can lose $1billion and stay in business we would not be here hangin and chatin with the rest of us poor folk, but out scamming senior citizens our of the SSI checks or spamming the world without stop!

i got a billion dollars i just don't like to share
i would argue the other side of the economic disaster
when ppl are unsure of their financial future they cut back and stay home to avoid unnecessary spending, playing pc games would
be a good cheap way to save some dough, its what i do, saved me
a bundle as stated in the beginning about me now having a billion
mc dollars, they should be growing instead of loosing
as long as someone buys the rights off them im not fussed either way
