I'll be waiting for results before I start really complaining.
I've played some good EA games (but I know they make loads of crap games), and one of them was a fantastic RPG, so I think Bioware will live. Besides, Pandemic and Bioware are pretty huge, and I don't think they'll get "pushed around" as much as other companies. The dead franchises were going downhill, but Bioware is in it's golden age, so at least it'll live longer.
What really bothers me though, is the fact EA will make money out of Mass Effect.
