Electronic Arts, Inc. (EA) is an American video game developer and publisher. It was founded by Trip Hawkins. They are best known for their hit titles such as the Madden NFL series, The Sims, the Medal of Honor series, the Command & Conquer series, the FIFA series, the Rock Band series, and various other titles.

Hawkins recalled that American publishers "avoided" the NES. Bing Gordon, a former EA CCO, recalled that Nintendo's original licensing agreement required EA to purchase a development kit for a "ridiculous price" and that when a game was finished, Nintendo would decide whether or not the game could be manufactured.
