Yeah, was thinking of posting that. Pretty weird huh? :)

Cant say that it surprises me though, Elevation was bound to sell em. $860 million is pretty fucking insane, had no idea they were worth that much.

here is how you get rich in the game industry:

- establish a studio

- with at least ONE successful new IP

- than sell your company and the ip to a big publisher

- and never look what they are doing with your studio or ip becasue its gonna break your heart.

EA has a rep of being nazi's :P and ruining games but i think they have become so rich that they let the designers do what they want because they can afford a flop. Not to mention crysis did fund and did market crysis really well :D!

Mass effect is essentially done by now, so I wouldn't think so. Like others have said, EA has a tendency to do horrible games when it comes from their own studio, but they've balanced this with purchasing independant developers and letting them do their own thing (DICE). I'm pretty confident things won't change for Pandemic, but I guess we'll see what SPQR reports ;)
