Just because they tried to buy Take Two doesn't mean that this isn't the end of Evil Acquisitions. That kinda supposes that all acquisitions are evil. It sounds like they've set up a system that allows individual companies to act more independantly with greater creative control, while relying on the resources and security EA can provide. I mean, whether that will turn out to be the score is up in the air, but EA trying to buy Take2 != EA lying about having changed the way they handle acquired properties.

I'm surprised he brought up Origin, Westwood, and Bullfrog.
While I'm not much into the former two(I haven't played too much of the Ultima series and C&C, not to mention my never having touched a Legend of Kyrandia title), I had some fond, nostalgic memories of Bullfrog titles(Magic Carpet 2 in particular, though Dungeon Keeper was also great fun).
Does this mean that I'll get my freaking Magic Carpet 3 already, complete with a reworked graphics engine that still retains the real-time deformable terrain and online multiplayer?

I'm no expert, but surely, now that these exchanges have gone public, it's what the shareholders think that matters ... ?

More "WTF? Aren't EA supposed to be the BAD GUYS?!?" behaviour:

Seriously, no intention to sue people who pirate their software?
Now I know that on the downside, this means they're more actively going to implement crappy copy-protection measures (as can be seen by their most recent PC releases), but Hell, it's good to see someone realising that litigation isn't necessarily the solution,
especially someone like EA.
PS: Soz for the necromancy, just wanted this to go in a relevant place.

I knew I should just write to Escapist instead of the forums.
