Hello everyone. What do you think of Funcom? What about Bioware? Are they the same company?

I think you should add a poll
All of my posts are either intelligent, thought provoking, funny, satirical, sarcastic or intentionally disrespectful. Take your pick. |

What are you talking about? Are Funcom and Bioware similar? No.

When it comes to MMO's Funcom is better, but overall Bioware is better. Bioware's past RPG's are awesome.

If you believe Funcom is owned by EA... wrong EA is only distributing physical discs for FC in case of TSW.
FC is a much more experienced MMO developer than Bioware, and they stick to their update plans. Looking at TOR the number of bad decisions and empty promises is unbeatable by any other dev.

BioWare was sold to EA in 2007. Funcom might eventually be sold to EA, but thus far is still independent.
So kind of an odd question... BioWare was an awesome company prior to 2007 (before being sold), while currently it's an inferior subdivision of EA .... so .. was Funcom an awesome company prior to being sold (possibly 2013)? An OK / good company, sure. A great / awesome company? naw Want a nice understanding of life? Try Spirit Science: "The Human History" |

I think of FunCom as a big Indie. Perhaps a bit mismanaged in the past, but the general impression I get is they take pride in their work and games. Also, they don't seem to be afraid to take risks with designs outside of industry standards. I like that.

I don't get the Funcom hatred. I have only played two Funcom games, TSW and AoC, and I liked one and love the other. Don't blame Funcom if you bought a lifetime sub and feel you are getting screwed, no one put a gun to anyone's head and made them get a lifetime sub. TSW is one of the better themepary MMORPGs out there right now (the best, in my opinion), despite what the naysayers say about it. Funcom realized the game was struggling and decided to go B2P. In fact if you read the TSW forums, Joel has been very candid and honest about the whole affair which is very refreshing. None of this "we just wanted to give more people a chance to play this awesome game!" He admits that GW2 hurt their sales, he admits that they were losing money and he was afraid they'd have to fire more devs, so a decision was made. That his how you handle a price model conversion, players appreciate honesty. Bioware on the other hand... when their game was struggling they charged people for action bars. |

BioWare is pathetic now, so of course FC wins. We'll see how Ragnar's departure will affect their games, but so far they've been at least good and often great.

The OP might be on to something, after all you never actually see them in the same room together AT THE SAME TIME!! can't believe nobody noticed this earlier!!!

Bioware was a good company before they became the pets of Electronic arts share holder. So in my opinion Funcom is a better gaming company.

Funcom is so far below Bioware's league it's not even funny. If you were to compare them to TV shows it would be like comparing Jersey Shore or "insert lolreality show here" (Funcom) to Firefly or Breaking Bad (Bioware).

When you finally add the poll, please put in the "Neither" and "Both" options.
