For some reason, I'm certain this would backfire.
EA's management meshed in with Valve's?
No, thank you.
Valve isn't even squeezing all the value it could out of its own game IP...
have an amazing game beyond anything released so far in any platorm
Lol, financially impossible. Valve's net worth is less than 1/2 of EA's.
On another occasion (this was a several years ago) a steam update failed and I was locked out of my account nearly 3 weeks.
Valve isn't publicly traded, how do you know what their net worth is?
Ummm...They haven't shipped yet have they? So how can it be amazing?
Couple of crazy options
1. SUN buys them. That way all the games will be Java = multiplatform. Maybe I can finally play some decent games on Linux and get rid of Windows at home.
2. Google. They seem to have the cloud experience. Perhaps a challenge to Steam/Valve. They have already mastered they spying part. They can sell the gamers data to marketers.
Just think that was after only 1 beer too.
I for one am one of the people who hates EA for almost everything non-game related, but I have to admit they have some of the best titles under their name. (BF3, dead space, medal of honor, crysis, sim city/sims, mass effect, need for speed, dragon age, plants vs zombies, and a few really good sports games, NHL in particular)
You could make a case that games by EA are the best around, but are ruined by EA's reputation, and then stupid bullshit that they do. Do a swap of valves and EA's games, and youd probably hear the same complaints from gamers. "I dont care if half life 3 is awesome, ill never give EA another dollar."
My only hope is that a company who knows what theyre doing buys EA. Best case scenario is Valve buys EA, and gets rid of goddamn origin for good. Maybe they eveb delay a few upcoming titles that arent finished products, or just suck, and redo them to something that people will buy and enjoy, as opposed to buy and complain how bad or how rushed dead space 3 is, or how they just put out some game to make money.
