If true this is the most shocking thing so far in this mess.

Someone really made an interesting and enlighting comment about EA and Bioware, just a few months ago. Watch it:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A6TmTv6deTI&feature=player_embedded A Tale of Two Companies"Things weren't better in the past. But a lot of things were GOOD, and they would STILL be, if people had stopped the fuck messing around with them!" |

Although this is still at "rumor" status, there's plenty to prove that EA has the opposite of the Midas Touch (whatever THAT may be called) when it comes to taking over ownership of studios and their games.

Now all the good developers betrayed by EA just have to get together and make the best MMORPG ever...

Does no one remember the South Park CBAA episode, last season? The one where EA Sports bought out the CBAA from Cartman and he got screwed? I'm all for that little pudgeball getting his comeuppance, but they made the point everyone else is sort of but not really but are really trying to make: EA chews up IP's and spits them out, leaving original developers and customers on the side of the road gasping for breath. Sorta sucks for Bioware, and the Star Wars fans who, like me, were waiting to play an awesome game. In usual EA fashion, the game sucked, and now EA, in usual EA fashion, is setting off to destroy any last vestiges of "BioWare." Regardless of who cashed in on this whole debacle, a great gaming company is dying because the pushers of the "s#!% in a can" approach to products and marketing saw a way to make a buck.
"S#!% in a can" marketing and product approach: Have someone take a hugesmall dump in a can. Develope or take advantage of as many ways of forcing people to pay for the can of s#!% as possible. Have marketing design an advertising campaign making the key demographic believe they cannot live without said can of s#!%- it will have to be clever and completely misleading in every way imagineable since no one in their right mind would buy a can of s#!%, so it will be expensive. Sell to the poor sops who were dumb enough to be sucked into buying the can of s#!%, and hope that those who realize they bought a can of something they liberate from themselves on a daily basis won't be too vocal so profits will keep coming in.
Anything new here? Hmmm... Nope. o/ |

Originally posted by The_Korrigan they could form the BBEA (Betrayed by EA)... I have to be honest with you. We have completely blown up the design of EverQuest Next. For the last year and a half we have been working on something we are not ready to show. Why did we blow up the design? The design was evolutionary. It was EverQuest III. It was something that was slightly better than what had come before it. It was slightly better.What we are building is something that we will be very proud to call EverQuest. It will be the largest sandbox-style MMO ever designed.--Smed |

Originally posted by Elikal Thanks for the link, good video, and good channel as well. The video really validates something that I've believed for a long time...passion is a necessary ingredient for making games. If the top management of a company that produces art (ie games) isn't 100% passionate about that art, then that lack of passion will pass down through the hierarchy and poison any art that company produces. Are you team Azeroth, team Tyria, or team Jacob? |

It’s all rumor and speculation for the moment. If it’s true though, the combination of 1) the Docs gone, 2) more Bioware employees laid off, 3) SWTOR’s needs and F2P demands, and 4) EA’s disappointment in Bioware lead game efforts and focus on other endeavors, all combine to leave me doubtful regarding the future of any Mass Effect MMO ever making it to market. |

Originally posted by Creslin321 very nice video the "FUGPUSC" term had me rolling I angered the clerk in a clothing shop today. She asked me what size I was and I said actual, because I am not to scale. I like vending machines 'cause snacks are better when they fall. If I buy a candy bar at a store, oftentimes, I will drop it... so that it achieves its maximum flavor potential. --Mitch Hedberg |

In a post somewhere on these forums someone talked about a concept called Cascade Failure and associated it with SWTOR. At the time I thought it was exaggeration but it's starting to look true.
You want to throw away your money developing something stupid, go ahead. |

I dont care about Bioware anymore. They allowed themselves to be purchased by EA long after EA earned their reputation of destroying companies...and Biowares last 3 games proved they are no longer a good company. 3 great gaming series ruined. Dragon Age, Mass Effect and KOTOR |
