• Suda51, the creator of Shadows of the Damned, revealed that he and Shinji Mikami, the game's director, were "bitched out" by EA over the development of the game. Suda51 stated that EA was not happy with the game's direction and progress, leading to a tense and confrontational meeting between the developers and the publisher.

• According to Suda51, EA wanted the game to be more "mainstream" and appealing to a broader audience, while the developers were focused on creating a unique and unconventional experience. This clash of creative visions caused significant friction during the development process.

• Despite the challenges faced during the collaboration with EA, Suda51 and Mikami were able to maintain their creative vision and release Shadows of the Damned in 2011. The game received generally positive reviews, but its commercial performance was not as successful as the developers had hoped.
