History and Foundation
Electronic Arts’ story began in 1982, when Trip Hawkins, a former Apple employee, secured investor backing to bring his business concept to life. Hawkins initially named the company “Amazin’ Software,” but changed it to Electronic Arts after early employees expressed dissatisfaction with the original name.
In 1995, Electronic Arts won the European Computer Trade Show award for Software Publisher of the Year. As the company continued to grow, it acquired space in Redwood Shores, California, in 1995 to build its new headquarters, a project completed in 1998.
In early 1997, Next Generation identified Electronic Arts as the only company that had consistently generated profits from video games over the prior five years.
Much of Electronic Arts’ success—both in sales performance and in stock market valuation—stems from its platform-agnostic development strategy and its creation of strong, long-running franchises.
EA was the first game developer to roll out annual updates to its sports franchises, featuring refreshed player rosters along with incremental graphical and gameplay improvements.
Widely recognized for the quality of its games, Electronic Arts remains one of the leading companies in its industry.
Electronic Arts is listed under the Technology sector and classified within the Software & Programming industry.
