If I'm going to make only one bet about this whole thing, I'm still going all in on EA ending up with Relic by the time this is over.
I feel they're the only company that is notably interested in an RTS developer, especially in Vancouver, if individual bids are being allowed.
Yea, there is also that DOTA clone that Relic is working on. EA could use something like that.
The way C&C is going though, I don´t know if we will see another retail game from Relic if EA ends up buying them. At least not a RTS.
