Meshugger Posted October 11, 2007 Posted October 11, 2007 (edited) This has to be the greatest news in gaming history, if your name is Volourn. Considering EA's track-record with acquiring game-studios, treatment of employees (=lawsuits) and general quality of their games, they have a lot to prove with this. Look forward to more games than before with shorter development times, less substance and maybe a "good" game every 3-4 years or so. But they will probably sell a lot. //EDIT: Oh, if i had more money, i would buy a lot EA-stock today.

Meshugger Posted October 11, 2007 Posted October 11, 2007 Eh, EA as an evil entity is soooooooo 2 years ago. Huh? Have they started to cure cancer lately? Companies aren't 'evil' or 'good' in the world of business, unless they have something illegal as their main agenda. Anyhoo, maybe they have changed their business model on how to deal with developers and given them more space for their creativity, but sure DICE hasn't been up to much 'diverse' since 2004.

Big Bottom Posted October 11, 2007 Posted October 11, 2007 EA seem to be changing direction and I doubt they'll want to fiddle too much with a successful formula so I'm not pessimistic about this. Besides, at least they'll have plenty of cash to throw at them from 'X's Xtreme Sports Sim 200X'. The best flash game ever!
mkreku Posted October 12, 2007 Posted October 12, 2007 Oh well, at least EA usually caters to all platforms.. Maybe Bioware will stop being Microsoft's bitches now? Swedes, go to: Spel2, for the latest game reviews in swedish!
Dark_Raven Posted October 12, 2007 Posted October 12, 2007 EA is the Great Satan of game companies. So long Bioware, we will miss you. Now our faith rests in Obsidian. Hades was the life of the party. RIP You'll be missed.

Dark_Raven Posted October 12, 2007 Posted October 12, 2007 That it is, especially now. Hades was the life of the party. RIP You'll be missed.
WILL THE ALMIGHTY Posted October 12, 2007 Posted October 12, 2007 Wait. There are sports gaming sites? Aren't those two things total opposites? "Alright, I've been thinking.

Reinoc Posted October 12, 2007 Posted October 12, 2007 Am I the only one that finds it weird that Riccitiello left EA, went to Elevation to buy Bioware and Pandemic, then went back to EA which then buys Bioware and Pandemic from Elevation? If I was a little paranoiac I'd say Bioware & Pandemic didn't want EA in the picture, so Riccitiello made a deal with Elevation so they'd buy them, then sell them to EA for a huge profit.
Junai Posted October 12, 2007 Posted October 12, 2007 Hope they all quit and join Obsidian, and finish BG3.. uh. J.
