EA is fine with me as long as they don't mess with the old school gaming companies such as Capcom and Konami. I would hate to see even some of their companies bought by EA.
Am I the only one who thinks that Capcom and Konami are getting a little old? :twisted:LOLOLOLOMG!1!1!1 N0 W4Y BECUSE KONAMI M4K3S M3T4L G34R S0L1D AND SN4K3 IS T3H B3ST LOL!?11!?!?/1! :roll:Evangelist didn't get the joke...I weep openly for the state of Ohio.Note the "rolleyes" smile?C'mon Jordy, I'm pretty sure that I got the joke.

EA is just doing what any money hungry company would do. Buy up all your competition and be on top of the industry.Only one problem with them buying up all the competitors. There will be no need to produce a high quality game because there will be no compitition to raise the bar. You wont see any improvement in Madden this up coming year because they have no reason to improve on last years, no compition. The could make the same exact game and people will buy it because they have to there is no other option.

Now, wouldn't that be convenient?

What people are forgetting is, EA can't afford to buy up all of the game developers.Ubi Soft are also going to be taking action against EA if they continue their obviously hostile takeover; they're even looking to sell more shares to another company so EA can't buy them out.Eidos are also supposed to be getting bought by News Corp this week too, Murdoch is going on a rampage.

EidosEidos hasn't got any good products out anyways - they could be bought by ACME for all I care :)Tomb Raider - Hitman = only good things that came from Eidos.

True, but now you can't even expect any good games from then. Bloody hell, it's News Corp! We'll have games based on how Bush "won" Florida.
