A lesser-known, third division of the company is called EA Partners, which handles publishing duties in the West for many games developed by Japanese publishers who lack a presence outside Japan, as well as offering publishing and distributing channels for smaller Western developers that wouldn't normally have access to those channels by themselves. The most prominent of those was a short-lived partnership with Creator/{{Square|Enix}}soft in the days before their merging with Enix. Today, EA Partners is the publisher of a number of titles from smaller developers, including the ''VideoGame/RockBand'' series, the ''VideoGame/{{Crysis}}'' series, the ''VideoGame/{{Shank}}'' games and, surprisingly, being the retail distributor of games developed by Creator/{{Valve|Software}} before the company seeming abandoned console gaming altogether.

Electronic Arts (EA) is the second-oldest independent video game publisher to remain in existence (since the demise of Creator/{{Acclaim}}). Beginning life in 1982 as the brainchild of electronics entrepreneur and corporate raider Trip Hawkins, the company first made its name publishing titles for the home computer market on machines like the UsefulNotes/{{Commodore 64}} and UsefulNotes/AppleII rather than attempting to follow Creator/{{Activision}} into the home console market. As a result of this, they largely avoided becoming embroiled in UsefulNotes/TheGreatVideoGameCrashOf1983 which killed off many of their rivals. In their early days, they justified their name by attempting to treat computer games as art, and the authors as artists in their own right, [[AuteurLicense sending them to network television interviews and nationwide press junkets.]] They also did various non-videogame projects during the era, including the animation in the title sequence of the British GameShow ''Series/CatchPhrase'' for its' first few years. They also compared game designers to "rock stars," to the point where they issued early games in LP-style sleeves, complete with gatefolds.

EA is also notable for the sheer amount of controversies and boycotts over the years from their questionable business practices, which resulted in them winning Consumer Media LLC's[[note]]the same guys who publish ''Consumer Report''[[/note]] "worst company of America award" for 2012 ''and'' 2013, though [[Administrivia/RuleOfCautiousEditingJudgement we'll leave the discussion of why they deserve it to another article due to the sheer amount of drama it causes.]]

In November 2017, the company's community {{Website/Reddit}} account was consistently downvoted, especially when discussing complaints about the ''VideoGame/StarWarsBattlefrontII2017'' progression system, culminating in it becoming the most-heavily downvoted account in the site's history by a significant margin.

EA is notable for loving UsefulNotes/RegionCoding. Many games published by EA for the UsefulNotes/{{Xbox 360}} are region coded, as are some of their games for the UsefulNotes/PlayStationPortable. They have even announced their intention to region code the UsefulNotes/PlayStation3 version of ''VideoGame/ArmyOfTwo'', but fortunately stepped down when numerous angry fans threatened to boycott the game. Unfortunately, online play remains region segregated, and the Xbox 360 version of the game remains region locked.
