Is anyone else here old enough to remember Origin Systems? Origin made Ultima and Wing Commander. It was the "crowning jewel" of EA in the 1990s. This is very reminiscence of what happened to Origin after Ultima IX. Soon afterward, projects got delayed... and then quietly cancelled a few months later. Then, over the next couple years, EA shut down Origin, part by part.
I recognize the pattern here. It seems that another EA-acquired studio is gonna bite the dust soon.
Well, good riddance.
