Mass Effect confirmed to suck now? :lol

More like 80 work week for Bioware employees, confirmed.

 

[Prime crotch]

Oh great now we can kiss goodbye to Dragon Age.
Fucking EA.

 

[Ronabo]

Wowsers.

 

[MightyHedgehog]

How many fucking studios and IPs must EA own? Really? How much is enough?

 

[Fatalah]

Hey, maybe Bioware could create the first GOOD 007 game in a decade...

What other licenses does EA own? Godfather...007...Simpsons...

 

[duffey]

Hahaha oh my god

 

[beelzebozo]

could mean more multiplatform games from these guys, which is pretty cool

 

[xaosslug]

 

[Screaming_Gremlin]

Sigh... I hope they add John Madden as a playable character in Mass Effect 2008.

They don't own the 007 license

i hate you and everything you stand for

EA doesnt have 007. Maybe Bioware could make Syndicate

 

[Loudninja]

Mercs 2 , well they are were going to publish it either way

 

[AstroLad]

How many fucking studios and IPs must EA own? Really? How much is enough?

Maybe they can make a proper Ultima VII sequel?

Right?

:/

 

[Fina1e]

Mass Effect to PS2.

 

[Kintaro]

My goodness. EA sure knows how to put a damper on ANYTHING.

Wait, is Mass Effect IP owned by BioWare or Microsoft?

 

[Geezer]

Maybe MS would give EA the publishing rights to Mass Effect 2 and 3 providing they have a guarantee of them staying Xbox exclusive.

 

[Morbid Angel]

GOD FUCKING DAMMIT

Not Bioware

 

[SolidSnakex]

Next up, EA to acquire entire video game industry.

 

[Dr_Cogent]

Does MS own Mass Effect? And if so, does this mean BioWare can't make II and III?

I doubt MS owns the IP to Mass Effect. I could be wrong though.

 

[Barf_the_Mog]

Sonic RPG DS cancelled?

Well, Sega is a competing third party developer and publisher. :/

 

[TekunoRobby]

UH OH

 

[Wyndstryker]

damn, EA going shopping usually leads to diasasters

 

[hiryu]

Janes, Westwood, Bullfrog, Origin,....Bioware? FUCK

 

[Big-E]

Guess that means no Mass Effect 2 or 3 from Bioware.

Thursdayton!

OMFG don't remind me.

 

[kylej]

Why the hell is everybody freaking out. Do people still think EA is a big evil empire out to destroy video games?

BioWare and Pandemic now have guaranteed funding for their games. Oh no anything but that.

 

[ElectricBlue187]

this is a dark day.

Why the hell is everybody freaking out. Do people still think EA is a big evil empire out to destroy video games?

YES THEY ARE THE EVIL EMPIRE
have you ever PLAYED a EA game? Do you know what they did to westwood and other great developers!?!

 

[SuperAndroid17]

it worked out for Westwood and Origin..... right? right?

hell no

they fired the amazing composer from the Command and conquer ( Tiberium series ).

Screw you EA.

 

[xaosslug]

higher output, lower quality software FTW!

 

[Tiktaalik]

That sucks...

 

[ghostmind]

Oh great now we can kiss goodbye to Dragon Age.
Fucking EA.

They're going to do the same thing to Dragon Age and Mass Effect that they did to Ultima and Wing Commander - I weep for us gamers.

 

[jj984jj]

Mercs 2 , well they are were going to publish it either way

It will be on 30 platforms now, just like the Microsoft published Mass Effect.

 

[XiaNaphryz]

I'm not seeing any news links about this anywhere...source?

 

[Firestorm]

oh wow

SSBB Feb 10th
EA buys Bioware and Pandemic

fun day

 

[Opus Angelorum]

Wow.

 

[Daigoro]

lame.

 

[BenjaminBirdie]

Maybe MS would give EA the publishing rights to Mass Effect 2 and 3 providing they have a guarantee of them staying Xbox exclusive.

Hm, that's a weird situation, if MS bought the publishing rights to all three, and if they're contracted to do all three games....

 

[BuckRobotron]

I went mouth agape there for a split second when seeing this news...Wow.

 

[EviLore]

Tsar Bomba.

 

[npm0925]

Jesus Fuck.

 

[Dabanton]

Wow and wow what can you say to this

Who's next Ubisoft?

 

[Dr_Cogent]

I'm not seeing any news links about this anywhere...source?

I wish it were a bannable offense for someone to not include a link to the source.

 

[Victrix]

This is a day of fail

 

[cicatriz]

How much did that cost I wonder?

 

[speculawyer]

I wonder if Elevation made much on this deal?

 

[Shao Kahn Brewing a Stew]

BOOM GOES THE DYNAMITE!!

MEGATON INDEED!

What happens to Mass Effect??

 

[djtiesto]

I couldn't even tell you who Pandemic are but that really sucks for BioWare. Especially after what EA did to Origin

 

[Deleted member 10571]

 

[ParticleReality]

Well, maybe BioWare will still make good games....

 

[Joe211]

Bioware was working on an exclusive title for the PS3 :/
