The game industry changed a lot since 1984 (almost 40 years ago!) and EA went through multiple changes in leadership in the meanwhile.

There’s probably not a single person you know from that time still working there.

All the big studios/publishers (including those with very deep pockets from parent companies like Microsoft Studios) bought a lot of dev studios for vertical integration. Almost all of EA’s studios were companies they bought rather than founded themselves.
