Not really. For them, it's less about getting the best developers ever, and more about buying out as many developers as they can, so that there's less competition and they're pumping out more games. However, the old EA used to actually work with the developers to help make it a good game; these days, they tend to actually shape the game based on how the sales on other games went. Basically, if some platforming game got great sales and reviews because it had lava-spewing dinosaur tanks, the next platforming game will probably have something similar to lava-spewing dinosaur tanks. Most other publishers and developers actually tend to find new things to do.
