Hi Tom,
Thanks for the reply. What you say makes sense, but I still have the same concerns.
What’s more, I don’t know quite what it would mean for something to be the main EA website.
Something like this: https://www.unrealengine.com/
This is the Unreal Engine website. Similar to EA, it’s a global community of creative people coming together to work on projects and share ideas. It has a useful FAQ, a learning section, a link to the wiki, a community section with a well structured forum and links to associated websites and groups. You can find everything you need to learn more and get involved. It’s not fancy, it just works.
EA falls short of this standard. We have websites but they don’t effectively get the job done. The info is generally available, but not well consolidated/organised. And there’s no decent forum that I can find. Even on your list (thanks for posting it).
I have recently been fairly critical of EA’s internal workings. I apologise if this is causing upset. I have no intention to cause ill-will. I believe that, at this early stage, there should be a lot of work (and review) of how the whole movement is set up and working. I would really like to see EA working really well and my scrutiny is with the best of intentions.
Unreal Engine is a professional industry tool that’s obviously able to have a more polished website than that of a fledgling social movement. It’s fine to have aspirations to match them, and to want to pursue these with a sense of urgency, but people are only going to be able to recieve criticism in a positive spirit if you give them something concrete and constructive to work with - (more specific than ‘well consolidated/organised’). What do you want?
