Conversely, independent studios need money to push the genre.

In a conference call on the buyout, EA CFO Warren Jensen gave more details of the acquisition, including the total cost of the deal for the publisher: $860 million.

That's some serious moneycrates.

Oh boy, Origin all over again. Seriously, why does EA hate freedom?

Of course, it would hurt me more if Bioware wasn't sucking the teat of consoles now.

You forget Dragon's Age. Unlike Mass Effect, which is almost out, it will have its development impacted. =(
