That's what I thought, I found it hard to be believe EA would be making no Net Profit So guys this is what matters in respects to the balance sheet for EA. We can see from the information provided that EA is a profitable company. Any concern can now be put to rest...phewwww You can argue it could make more profit but I think this should address the major concerns around "is Bioware going to be around in 3 years". It is as EA is still going to be around

Walsie you are incorrigible

What do you mean when you say an RPG with a soul? Can you elaborate a little around this requirement

Don't worry Raven some of the older members are gone but there is a deluge of really cool, intelligent, good looking new members since the funding of PE started. Like .....me !! Arguably the forums have been elevated to a better place as we have even more opinions on important topics such as, ..such as, mmm...oh yes I know " what movie did you watch recently", " wow that rodent is cute" and "are consoles better than PC"

edit: From an investment standpoint, they aren't good, because they seem to have hit a point where their profits are matching their costs. But as a business they seem as stable as you can get in the video game industry. I hate to disagree with you Hurlshot but no company will stay in business if the profits only cover the costs. So if that's true EA will need to make some serious structural changes if they intend to have any future I agree they need to restructure, pretty much every game publisher is trying to adapt to the changing market and get back to a growth phase. But if they are covering costs they are still stable. EA still makes a ton of money every year and the numbers show that they are operating within that budget, rather than taking major losses every quarter. Okay but we need to keep this simple, end of the day if the Net Profit of EA is zero that's almost as bad as running at a loss. They can't be making a ton of money and yet only covering costs? Because by its nature that comment is contradictory from a financial perspective. I find this hard to believe so I would like a more professional assessment of EA P&L statement

How many [Rings]?
BruceVC replied to Osvir's topic in Pillars of Eternity: General Discussion (NO SPOILERS)
LOL awesome '3' hasn't been voted for :? (I can see 2 votes for '2', 1 for '4' and 1 for '8) --- I like the idea of interfering rings (did I just say that out loud?) - as Lephys suggested - I guess it depends on how PE rings work as to how much bother it would be to code that in. If we're going to go for more than 2, then I can't see a logical reason for stopping short of 8 (if we discount thumbs). you were right I didn't make my selection, its now fixed -
Wow after our last discussion around rape and the reasons for it I had lost hope that any point from you in the future would resonate with me intellectually but you do make some good and interesting points now

Most of the time there is no meaning for dreams, its just your subconscious mind rationalizing events in your life. They don't have to have a complicated reason for you having them

You didn't. I did. We are allowed to do that you know, bring new things into a discussion Yes, and we are allowed to laugh at you when you miss the point of my post and derail it into a Steam comparison, then start handing out condencending winks. But hey, you're the Master of Communication, amirite? Did someone by any chance get out of the wrong side of bed this morning

I may not agree with what you are saying but I can appreciate the fact you have taken the time to explain what you feel in a way that is not hysterical and is reasonable, so good post

I enjoy wine and ale on the same basis as I enjoy food: flavour and company. I am a simple person and I have to admit I drink alcohol for the effect

Interesting post I voted for 3 due to the whole overpowering factor of having too many rings -

Okay I only became active last year when the funding of PE started. I left my old forum, Mortal Online, and appreciated the discussions and intellectual debate on these forums I really enjoy these forums. I think we have a nice mix of eccentric, brilliant, sensitive, verbose, reasonable and all round nice people who are regulars. The only thing we don't have is enough lady members.

Yeah the combat in SD rocked but I can understand someone not being used to it and wanting to use a gun. We are so conditioned to "shooting our way to victory" its weird when guns are not the primary combat option in games like this To be honest I found the gun combat in SD clunky and was glad when I could use my fists to beat respect into my various enemies

GFWL has never given me any major issues, I logon and it works? Same as Steam. To be honest with all these online DRM systems the only one that has been problematic is Uplay and that has only been slightly problematic where once I couldn't logon for 4 hours once. Guess I've been lucky

OMG is it just me or does that trailer look absolutely amazing !!! I need to play the first one before I attempt the sequel

Almost a quarter of men 'admit to rape in parts of Asia'
BruceVC replied to Walsingham's topic in Way Off-Topic
Thanks Walsie, both look like good reads. Especially the Berlin one -
Oh LadyC just to let you know one of options in GTA V is to play as a house cat that has to survive in the city against your typical urban challengers, like dogs and the SPCA who try to catch you and put you in captivity I BET now you interested in this game, am I right or am I right ????
