Well, Bioware has made okay games since BG II, most of their releases have been pretty bleh. But still, this leaves Bethesda as the only big name maker of PC RPGS.....
"Pandemic Studios remains focused on attracting the best talent and creating blockbuster action games," said Josh Resnick, President and Co-founder of Pandemic Studios. "As a worldwide publishing leader, EA represents the ideal partner to bring our titles to market as global entertainment events."
I wonder what the hell this means for the Sonic the Hedgehog RPG that Bioware's making for the DS. EA and Sega would be pretty strange bedfellows.

You know why I don't trust this? Do you guys know what happens to the employees when EA buys the company?
You mean like Origin, Westwood, Jane's Combat Simulations, and Maxis? No, what happens?

Coming to a computer near you, Bioware's new RPG: Dragon Age, published by Electronic Arts*
*note, only playable for a year until the slightly revamped sequel comes out.
**We will no longer support Neverwinter Nights, because why the hell would we support a game that's been out for almost seven years?
***We're also canceling Christmas.
In other news, Mass Effect has been pushed back to Christmas '08
When asked for comment, a spokesperson for the software giant said "This is not only the best method to increase Mass Effect's quality, but also allows us to better implement our existing EA brands and characters into the title in an appropriate and respectful fashion."

WTF?!
Surely thats a god damn monopoly now.
OOOOO
EA now weighs 17.8 courics.
I therefore hope that this is a filthy lie.
(edit: maybe the as-of-yet unnamed Bioware MMO will be switched over to The Sims Online 2! If not, they'll find some other way to make it suck.)
Sadly, reliable sites also carry it.
Bleeding, flaming, sodomising hell.
FUCKING CROSSED YOU WRETCHED FUCKING CUNTBAGS!
It was crossed long ago with Origin. EA's acquisitions almost always end in tears.
Dammit, beaten. Though I like my OP better.

Obsidian has yet to prove they can even make a real game, rather than sloppy sequels to Bioware's.
One of them will be a party game for the Wii. When it sales poorly, EA will blame it on Nintendo.
As long as one of them is as good as any of the previous releases I'll be fine with it.
Atari already whored out the license with those crappy ps2 games. More of the same isn't going to do any more damage.
Interplay still owns the rights to Baldur's Gate.
As for the acquisition, we don't really know how it's going to turn out.
As much as everyone hates EA, they've been getting a lot better lately for some reason.
Without Black Isle, the hell they will be.
KOTOR 24 confirmed!

skate, halo 3
Which actually only published Baldur's Gate. I know its hard to believe because of their later stuff, but Bioware actually made BG series themselves.

But I loves them so!
They're Bioware!
And EA isn't Bioware!
Thus it can't be any move but down!
