EA har hjulpet studiet bag A Way Out, It Takes Two og Split Fiction, Hazelight, som udgiver, og det er uden at de overhovedet ejer studiet. Det er fordi studiet startede som en del af EA's Originals-program, der tidligere har fået ros for løse rammer og oprigtig interesse i studiernes kreativitet.
Men det er selvfølgelig ikke det eneste EA laver, men alligevel mener Fares at EA får mere kritik end de reelt set fortjener. I et interview med The Game Business siger Fares dette:
"There are a lot of great people at EA. They know how we work. They respect it and they leave us be. Let's be honest, there's not a publisher in the world that hasn't f***ed up now and then. Sometimes I feel that EA is getting more s*** than they deserve. I mean, come on, Nintendo, Microsoft, Sony, everybody's done something that's not good. But for some reason, EA has become this bad guy. For us, it's a super good collaboration. I'm very open about. If it was bad, I would've said that in this interview as well. But we have a great relationship. I'm not saying that they haven't done any mistakes like every other publisher. All the people I am surrounded with at EA are gamers. They love games. It's not like I'm sitting with corporate people with suits. It's not like that. And people should not worry, because Hazelight will do always what it wants."
Med et opkøb fra blandt andet Saudi-Arabiske PIF, et utal af studielukninger og FIFA Ultimate Team, mener du også at EA får for meget kritik?
