EA buys 20% of Ubisoft - Page 2

Everyone makes games for money. Difference is, some make GOOD games for money, while others make games for dolts. EA is the latter. What the hell are the FIFA series and pretty much all their games that never even ONCE get patched? Oh no, let's just release a 50€ patch every year!

I really don't feel anything (reffering to the news). I've passed my hate period (LA, EA...) and transcendented to a higher level with the help from Sai Baba and Dalai Lama.

I don't even want to look at any of that crappy shit EA is puttin g out every year, I even started hating basketball because of NBA live! OH, GO F*** YOURSELF EA! DAMN, now I'll have to meditate for another 3 hours...

Thats my main concern, you have said it before me... oleg and his crew are the best people in simulation business... IL 2 forgotten battles is the 2nd best simulation of all times after red baron 2 IMHO. I hope everything would be fine for them

That's really funny..... and even somewhat scary. :eek:

Ubisoft bought what was left of New World Computing(Might and Magic) from 3do. EA already bought, and killed Origin(Ultima). I hope EA's practice doesn't slip over to UBI, or there will be more dead titles in the mass graves of the gaming world.

Microsoft owns a large portion of Apple, and Apple is still doing quite well at innovating...I just hope that UBI sticks it out like Apple does, and I also hope Apple picks up on the fact that game performance is crucial for an operating system to thrive

Yep, I just grabbed that news. Looks like a full scale war between the evil, coldhearted megacorp and those who believe in creativity and humble values.

This is where we find out that Ubisoft was actually founded by somebody from EA...

Search your heart, you know it to be true!

New in 2006: The EA Playbox!

It does seem like EA is trying to become similar to Nintendo during the eighties.. They ain't there yet, but it could happen.

Geeez. Last year Ubi was very proud not to hire ANY people in France and delocalize everything to Canada, Marocco and China.
And now they are whining to French government to get some help.
I say f**k them. Capitalism is good enough for them in the first case, but not in the second?

Hey, if it works then more power to them.
