Evilness attracts evilness. What's wrong about that? shrugnz9.gif

 

Nothing at all! How's Satan doing, btw? I hear from the Bio boards that he's EA's majority shareholder :grin:

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.

I died a little inside.

Demand to see life's manager. Make life rue the day it thought it could give Cave Johnson lemons. Do you know who I am? I'm the man who's gonna burn your house down! With the lemons. I'm going to to get my engineers to invent a combustible lemon that burns your house down!"

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.

Oh well, at least EA usually caters to all platforms.. Maybe Bioware will stop being Microsoft's bitches now?

Wait.

 

There are sports gaming sites? Aren't those two things total opposites?

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.

Just to re-fresh people's memories, EA has killed the following companies:

 

- Westwood

- Bullfrog

- Maxis

- Origin

- Microprose

 

It is sad that the employee's of Bioware will be added to this list. This is truly horrible news.

 

Ah i miss Westwood, Bullfrog, and Microprose...how i loved those companies.

Eh, Herve Caen killed Westwood. You're a little confused. Like, details-don't-matter confused. Osama-reads-the-Koran confused.
