Saw this last night when I got home. Really sucks for the studio, hope everyone there manages to get relocated within EA or find a new home in the industry.

Loved Dead Space and just saw they made Return of the King and Future Cop: LAPD too! Loved those games as a kid!

Disgusted by EA's milking strategy, could potentially have moved above Uncharted quantities in sales.....not enough for EA!

Sight, was so looking forward to seeing more of it. 

Sucks that all hard work is scrapped along with jobs. Hmm...I wonder if Amy Henning jumps back to ND now.

There's no way on earth this will happen, they crunch way too much, she's past that for sure.

As for that PCGamer article, I think all gamers should read it, it raises some very very very important topics about the state of the industry, budgeting, and the cut that devs and publishers make with the different platforms. It's a shame things are the way they are, fragmentation might actually be the answer here, because steam having the monopoly might not exactly be a good thing for anyone.
Dead Space 2 was released a while ago tho, 2010-2011 were the years the industry was trying to grow exponentially by using the wrong techniques, like bloated marketing campaigns and we witnessed the "Call of dutyfication" of many franchises, that's why Dead Space 3 is such a mess too.
We do live in different times now, after loosing their north star, publishers are a little bit more self aware now, even console makers, that's how back in 2014 Playstation won the battle VS other competitors with their "video games first" mentality, and we seem to now be in a industry that primarily follows that mantra now, generally speaking of course. Don't get me wrong, the suits are still the cancer of this industry, but I have faith that we as an industry, be it indie or AAA have the responsibility of trusting that profit and success will follow if you have a quality product, so focus on that first and chill the bullshit micro-transactions or any other transparent money grabbing techniques.Tthe famous quote "Success usually comes to those who are too busy to be looking for it.", came to my mind right now,

how is EA doing these days? They seem to me to serially squander value.

EA is still regarded as one of the best gaming stock to buy, they make butloads of money specially with their sports division.
