Joystiq: "In one way, Electronic Arts has always sort of been the New York Yankees of videogames -- it simply buys what it wants. Many of the studios in EA's stable -- such as PopCap and BioWare -- weren't home-grown, but rather bought through expensive acquisitions. Company CFO Blake Jorgensen's looking to change that."
Thing is their problem has always been when they find something that works, not allowing their studios to do a proper job because release days next to sales/market quarters was more important.
They have 2 studios I have been a fan of for many years: Bioware and Popcap. They should have stayed independent, but I guess the business end is very financially risky. Hope they are kept separate and just given more support to do what they do on a larger scale.
Here's an idea, build Bullfrog back.
Profit.
Rather theyve fucked all the remaining great development houses into the ground
Sorry for my language but they FUBARd Maxis, Criterion, DICE, Westwood Studios and the closed Bullfrog Productions.
God Dammit Bobbeh!!!
