They are the same entity. EA owns Bioware. They are the same company, same corporation.
EA isn't just publishing Bioware's games. THEY OWN BIOWARE, completely and totally.
Yeah we know Hades. EA owns the company legally, but it's still the same people working there, still making Bioware games. And that's all that should matter to me - playing games from the same beloved developer.
Besides I got the feeling that the Doctors, espescially Ray also has a lot of input for EA business - as an EA vice president, he's sort of an adviser to Riccitello.
