- DanteDefiance, on 10/28/2007, -15/+264This is the worse gaming news I've heard in a LONG time. Prepare to see a sharp decline in the quality of Biowear products.
Oh and probably a multiplatform Mass Effect. ;___; how could you Biowear? - Takran, on 10/28/2007, -4/+195This calls for a Darth Vader style NNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
I think my brain is going to implode. - ahintoflime, on 10/28/2007, -2/+184This sucks. Bioware is a great studio. EA better not ***** that up.
- Joeshie, on 10/14/2007, -1/+161RIP Bioware. You had a good run.
- airwalkery2k, on 10/28/2007, -2/+160I cry a little on the inside each time EA gobbles up a good studio.
- Cam_86, on 10/13/2007, -2/+118I look forward to the DOZENS of expansions(a la 'The Sims') for all future kotor games... Cause dammit, I think its MORE then fair to sell me a half finished game, and then go on and charge me an additional $20-$80 for something that SHOULD be a free download. Oh, and lets not forget the in-game advertising in 2142... Cause me simply paying them $60(plus, lets assume another $40 for the min. 2 expansions that will be required) isn't enough for them to make a profit. Especially when they are known to over-work and under-pay their employers.
Seriously, EA is the epitome of EVERYTHING that is wrong in the gaming industry. - someguy9, on 10/28/2007, -3/+111EA needs to be stopped, they make NO good games, some one needs to stop this.
ya a new madden!! - Intangible360, on 10/12/2007, -2/+105EA is getting so large no one will be able to compete, which will lead us down a slippery slope where EA both publishes and develops 95% of the games for sale. A sad, sad day! :'(
- spaceninja, on 10/15/2007, -1/+96Another great company dead. Assimilated by the Borg that is EA. I will miss you Bioware.
- Lixie, on 10/12/2007, -1/+75EA got a little insecure dropping to the number 2 publisher behind Nintendo, so they went on a shopping spree.
- shinythingy, on 10/13/2007, -1/+74Oh they will :(
- TRUEPATRIOT, on 10/13/2007, -5/+60theres nothing wrong with mass effect going multi platform the problem comes from EA doing a maxis on bioware.
/cry - Fox318, on 10/15/2007, -0/+51Just like Westwood Studios... another great developer dies by the hands of EA.
- Hermitwise, on 10/12/2007, -1/+47The Scary thing is I would much rather have Microsoft buy Bioware.
- shinythingy, on 10/12/2007, -3/+45Here's an idea stop buying their amn sports games people. Its the same ***** thing year in year out. All they change is team line-ups. Fifa '08 sold over 1 million copies in europe! WTF is wrong with people?
- felidaeus, on 10/28/2007, -3/+45so when do KOTOR II, III, IV, V, VI and VII come out?
- LongShlong, on 10/12/2007, -1/+41This unfortunate news hurts the very essence of my being.
- Phreez, on 10/12/2007, -2/+41You're in luck, KoToR II has already been released back in 2005.
- inactive, on 10/15/2007, -2/+39EA blows ass, and always has...this is seriously ***** up!
- shinythingy, on 10/12/2007, -3/+37*****
- daxmedflax, on 10/14/2007, -4/+37Biowear?
- zdiddy85, on 10/12/2007, -1/+33Goddammit.
- cultist667, on 10/15/2007, -1/+32***** EA
- Kinsbane, on 10/12/2007, -0/+28EA bought up 2K Games as well?
Weird, I didn't see that in the press release. - dyreschlock, on 10/15/2007, -1/+29God, I hope my copy of Mass Effect doesn't have the EA label on it :/
Otherwise, I might just have to photoshop new cover art for my copy. - DanteDefiance, on 10/23/2007, -4/+31One company can compete: Nintendo
They took top publisher this year. This was the first time in 5 years EA was bumped to the number 2 spot. - Schaefer33, on 10/13/2007, -2/+27http://i24.tinypic.com/20g0gf5.gif
Picture of what I first saw on the front page... - Dvs.Ctns.Hvrms, on 10/13/2007, -1/+25What about westwood?
- RyanBlueThunder, on 10/12/2007, -2/+26Peter Moore (ex-360 guy who left MS to work for EA) had a hand in this...I just know it. I hate to say it, but I think the industry would have been better off with Microsoft buying Bioware than EA.
- Slyer, on 10/12/2007, -0/+23Crysis is pretty fun..
I think I like EA better when they act solely as publishers and not owners. - miglo, on 10/12/2007, -0/+23I died a little today. RIP Bioware + Pandemic studios.
- darkNiGHTS, on 10/12/2007, -0/+22Let's hope they don't turn out like Westwood Studios :(
- RxDaniel, on 10/14/2007, -1/+22That is their new clothing line.
- muka3d, on 10/12/2007, -0/+20DO NOT WANT!!!
- totorototoro, on 10/14/2007, -0/+20Wow. That's pretty huge. Bioware AND Pandemic?
Looking forward to all those yearly full-price "roster updates" to Mass Effect and KOTOR :p - emomakesmecry, on 10/12/2007, -0/+19Do not want!
- aznhomig, on 10/12/2007, -3/+22*****.
- tastethevenom, on 10/12/2007, -0/+18I'd like to watch someone punch EA's Mr. Deep Voice in the nuts, once for each syllable in "E. A. SPORTS."
It's in the game. ® - hasahugedig, on 10/15/2007, -1/+19I find it kinda strange how when EA buys a company they, for a lack of better words, go to *****. But when Nintendo buys a company, they turn out some amazing stuff under their wings. Yet both are the #1 and #2 videogame publishers.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+15Great, the best games in the industry (KOTOR, NWN, etc. etc.) now open by the company making the *****, hack regurgitated games i.e. Madden 2007, Madden 2008, ... Madden 2393
- HCviolence, on 10/12/2007, -4/+18New for Star Wars Battlefront, Lowrider cars and racist Mexican stereotypes, and servers that will be 20% *****. HOORAY
- sebek, on 10/12/2007, -1/+15Explains the disturbance in the force I felt...like the sound of a millions gamers crying out in pain
- Cyber_Akuma, on 10/12/2007, -4/+18People not buying EA games is just not going to happen. As long as they keep making sports titles the majority of sheeple will buy them.
- adenansu, on 10/12/2007, -0/+14origin, dice, mythic, now bioware... destroy EA before they own everything
- Tactis, on 10/15/2007, -8/+21well probably not i mean gears of war was 360 exclusive even though midway is primary publisher for Epic Games, it could be that Mass Effect IP is owned by Microsoft.
But regardless this sucks really really bad for gaming. - iChainsaw, on 10/12/2007, -0/+13rofl dont you know? BIOwear obviously made BIOshock...just like BIOlogy is the study of bioshock.
- Spoomeister, on 10/12/2007, -0/+13Why hasn't a boycott of EA titles happened, to let them know how much their business practices blow? Or is EA's main revenue from casual / sports titles that don't have a massive and/or informed internet fanbase?
- flipmeat, on 10/12/2007, -0/+12'A vicious shark tank of a company that consumes talent and spits it out'
Anyone remember Origin? See, EA thinks the games are successful because of their marketing, not the code or the art. Since they believe this to be true, it makes sense to them to jettison the talent of acquired companies.
"I could sell dog ***** in the right box" - Bing Gordon. "And you have"- anon. - inactive, on 10/15/2007, -0/+12For $620m (or less) MSFT should have bought Bioware at least.
- LutherMac, on 10/12/2007, -0/+12Time to mourn the loss... I've yet to see success from any decent developers that have been engulfed by EA, slight exception to Maxis, though SimCitiy: Communities or whatever it's called is definately a disaster waiting to happen. (Yes, I know this is a 3rd party, and not Maxis. Just the end of a great franchise).
Origin.... Maxis... and now Bioware... truly sad times. -
