Spielberg joins forces with Electronic Arts to create computer games …
Electronic Arts Inc. said it signed an agreement with director Steven Spielberg to collaborate on three original videogames, in a further sign of the game industry’s aspirations for more intricate storytelling in their products.
“What we’re trying to do is answer the question our company was founded on, which is, ‘Can a computer game make you cry?’ ” Mr. Young (Niel Young of EA) said. “One of the ways we’re going to get there is by partnering with great storytellers like Steven.”
