Honestly it's like you're actually going out of your way to make it possible to still hate EA.

That's kind of like saying "Rock Band" is a Viacom game.
Ozymandias:
I think it's pretty obvious Harmonix operates by and large on their own accord, regardless of EA/MTV, whose influence comes in the form of funding and DLC. There's less ads in Rock Band(read: none) than there are in Guitar Hero 3(read: every single stage has some sort of branding, as do many of the guitars). I think it's also pretty obvious Black Box does not operate of their own accord since they have basically been a shovelware developer for EA for the last 5 years until skate. came out.
Storm Rider:
Black Box was the Need for Speed developer for a while, right? I never played those games, but I remember before the last couple they were supposedly pretty good.
Ozymandias:
Need For Speed was originally an EA Canada title that got moved over to Black Box just to pump out lots of sequels after they were acquired.
Nodaisho:
And the Need for speed games are good. Was it black box that did Underground? Because that was the best of all of the ones I have played, I think not having to worry about making an interesting open map meant they could make tracks that were good to race on, and they weren't afraid of making roads that were actually straight for *gasp* more than 50 meters.
