what is up with Bioware?

[akilshohen]

I'm kind of confused with this EA buyout thing. Are they just gonna finish up the projects they've started with other companies and then become EA exclusive, or are they gonna be a normal developer that's owned by EA?

[InuFaye]

Normal Dev thats owned by EA.

Thus why ME on PC is published by EA.

It'll be interesting to see how they fare under EA. Will they be another Bullfrog or Origin? Or will they turn out like Westwood or Maxis?

[eswat]

Didn't Westwood share the same fate as Origin?

[InuFaye]

Yes they did.

Most of the employees left westwood though and they became petroglyph.
