EA to buy Ironclad Games!!! =o

Just kidding =p

October 11, 2007 10:16:22 PM from Sins of a Solar Empire ForumsSins of a Solar Empire Forums
But in truth....

"Video games giant Electronic Arts Inc. said Thursday it would buy BioWare Corp. and Pandemic Studios for up to $860 million, a sum that's considered among the highest ever paid to acquire independent game developers."

Oh Kosc, you're such a tease.

We don't want Sins to turn into another Spore.

Kosc, just for that you are on my official must-kill list. As in next time I see you online, you are dead.

That said... EA games getting a hold of Bioware is scary. I liked the Neverwinter Nights and Baldur's Gate series, and now they will both be mud.

You deserve something horrible to happen to you Kosc.   

"Video games giant Electronic Arts Inc. said Thursday it would buy BioWare Corp. and Pandemic Studios for up to $860 million, a sum that's considered among the highest ever paid to acquire independent game developers."


I tell you my friends the end of the world is coming! EA will be the fifth horseman of the apocolypse (and certainly the most horrible one of all)!

I hope he bans you from the forums for a month. Its a cruel, cruel practical joke, even for you.

Better yet, lock out your account from Beta 4 access when the time comes. For, oh, a week or four. That'll do.

Both Nakor and I had the same response to the EA-Bioware/Pandemic news (we actually yelled this in the office, totally independant of one another):

"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

I would probably die even more inside if lordkosc's sick, twisted, title came true.

My heart made the same sound when I read it. It's stil screaming!

Bioware. Bioware? BBBBBBBBBBBBBBBIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOWWWWWWWWWWWWWW
WWWWWWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRREEEEEEEEEE
EEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I would cry like a little crack baby if Ironclad was bought out by EA.

Honestly, this has been the worst start to a day in a long while. because of other reasons as well, though.

EA did a good job of C&C 3 at least...

No they did not.... their support for CnC 3 is horrible. So many problems with sound playback during videos... endless threads about it but no fix. Anyway... Bioware is one above all my fav game dev company. This is the first I hear about it and I am upset now... I actually had a good day today until now.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!! At least, it's a joke... sort of... to bad for Bioware and Pandemic...

No they did not.... their support for CnC 3 is horrible. So many problems with sound playback during videos... endless threads about it but no fix.


That single issue nearly destroyed any enjoyment I got out the game's campaign. It saddens me that such a silly issue wasn't resolved, yet.

I lament the loss of Bioware's independence...kharma strikes again, Bungie wrangles free of Microsoft and Bioware is swallowed by EA. Long live independence IC!
