Re: i want to pitch an idea to respawn

@Pog_Turtle42O 

We’re not able to accept product ideas or game concepts from non-employees outside of Electronic Arts.

We love that you’re just as passionate about games as we are, and we know how much time and effort goes into game and product ideas and submissions. We receive thousands each year, and unfortunately due to the volume of these unsolicited submissions and ideas, we simply can’t review or consider them. In fact, because we can’t consider them, we can’t even keep them – we have to return or delete all unsolicited submission materials that we receive.

Have you ever considered working in the game industry? We often have opportunities on the creative front for people like you. Keep your eye on http://careers.ea.com and see if any of our open positions interests you. And if you’re thinking about pursuing an education in interactive entertainment, check out http://careers.ea.com/students.

Thanks for your interest. We hope that you keep playing games and keep on imagining!

    I don't know of anyone that gives you a share, if you have a lot if game ideas I suggest you look at game designer education and start working on that 🙂 A bud of mine finish his this year and will start working with this now, he is quite jazzed about it atm.

    To get a share you have to invest in one way or another, either by coming with the game from your home studio or forking up solid value like money. But if you are hired as a game designer you get a salary to work on the ideas, if this is something to do I would check it out. I notice many game studios are looking for people constantly, and if you think this is something you would like - why not 😉

    Also check out the links the community manager linked to see what is available and what the requirements are 😉

    @EA_Barry Just to be clear, you aren't accepting any ideas for games either new or ideas to add to old games?
    this is just to be clear.
  • Most companies have to work from within.  There was a popular TV series sitcom called Seinfeld back in the day.  The writers would get scripts and return them unopened, due to the liability of attorney fees alone could sink you.  I once had what I call a "Seinfeld moment" in my life;

    I was up late at night working on the PC and my wife was sleeping.  She woke up and said to me, "You know 8 o'clock comes awfully early.".  To which I replied, "No it doesn't.  If it arrives early we would call it seven fifty-five or something like that.".  She just said, "Meshuggeneh!" and went back to bed.  I felt like it was a joke from the show, but no it happened to me.  I was told by many friends I should submit the joke, but I knew of the show's policy.

    They can only use the ideas from within the company, then they know who you are, where you live, and family members... just in case. lol
