Damn. EA is becoming the Microsoft of the gaming world.

On another note, I wonder if that Dragon Ages title is their super secret MMO?

**Edit - Never mind. Read the rest of the Release.**

Not entirely. The company (VG Holdings and Elevation Partners) that owned Bioware / Pandemic wasn't a real game company. It was a business that aims at buying and re-selling companies at a profit, and it just fulfilled its mission.

Becoming? They gobbled up most of the best gaming companies in the 90s. And they absolutely killed Origin, and all of their great series'.

It's a shame they're still doing it. But this is the ending, not the beginning.

Does Bioware own the rights to Planescape: Torment? Maybe EA would force them to make a sequel of some sorts.
