    It's more like the AOL of gaming, or the Cingular/ATT wireless of gaming.

      But they are an overrated empire of terrible employee treatment, buying out the competition, and money hoarding. Still very similar if you ask me.

    They should just allow their new divisions work independently...all EA should do is just share in the profits >_> THAT is the point of the acquisition...to make money in the long run....

    Course, they'll probably micromanage it into oblivion or something -_- Well depends on how much they let them keep their independence...I THOUGHT that in an older article, they said they were going to jut 'share resources' or something?

    NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! Seriously EA better just leave them to do their own projects though cause I would hate to think that EA would have huge says in matters of Pandemic and BioWare games. BioWare owns for RPG games and I love some of the games Pandemic was involved with, namely two old ones, Battlezone 2 & Dark Reign 2.
