EA's bid for Take-Two just became hostile. Thanks for fucking gamers in the ass once more, EA. Just how most of you here who hate SOE, I hate EA, but for more realistic and logical reasons, instead of something like the NGE. Midas turned everything he touched into gold. EA turns everything it acquires into shit. Here's a list of awesome gaming companies that EA greedily snatched up then tossed like a one-night-stand whore:
- Westwood Studios (Comand & Conquer series)
- Bullfrog Productions (Sim ThemePark, SimCoaster, Populous)
- Origin (Ultima, Ultima Online, Wing Commander series)
- Mythic Entertainment (cannibalized by EA, but hasn't produced anything remotely good since DAoC. Warhammer Online is it's next big project)
- Maxis (cannibalized by EA, has yet to produce anything good. Spore is it's next decent looking project. And no, Sims2 was not EA, it was Maxis acting on its own while sitting under the EA tent.)
