Maybe join Obsidian Entertainment (a merger of the ex Black Isle Studios' talent and Bioware).... maybe investors that take a hands off approach will come in to back them up so they can escape Atari.


Ah... dreams

zOMG. fscking EA again! People need to stop buying retarted FIFA, NHL, NBA, Maden, Nascar, NFS and many other POS wannabe-called "games" produced by EA to slow down their growth.

Hell yeah, theyre helping EA to wreck our good games!! Its like funding video game terrorism... I had a friend who bought fifa every year, he had fifa 2004 and he bought fifa 2005. There was like ah heck all difference between the games! A slightly different control scheme, some other sideways changes and updated teams... What the hell man!! What a waste of money, you could've bought.. well.. anything because anything else would have been money well spent, even big rigs over the road racing as crap as it is would have at least been something different rather than an updated team and the number 2005 on the box instead of 2004!

I hope devs realize EA is bad, and they should get someone else to publish their games, thats how it starts off. First EA publishes their game, then they publish more games, and then bam they buy out the company and completely take over, slowly destroying the name and the games that the company made. Like bullfrog, like westwood, like whats going to happen to bioware, and what hopefully wont happen to crytek.

EA could be on the payroll of that RIAA? MPAA? I dunno its the group that hates video games and believes they are the cause of violence, you tell me what theyre called i dont remember. But EA could be paid by these guys to destroy video gaming outright, they're on the right tracks to doing so, i think they will fail as theres still too many good devs out there that remain untarnished, Blizzard, Relic, Valve, ID, guys that made world in conflict and the others that made sup com. I hope EA go bankrupt i really do.

EDIT: lol wow this thread must be pretty old, didn't realize i already posted in it, ive just regurgitated what ive already posted with an added rant and EA + MPAA conspiracy theory... oh well.
