EA is all about games as a service. Dragon Age will never see the light of day.

What studios did MS destroy may I ask?

I mean Turn 10 is in such shambles its a disgrace..

Rare still exists after all there internal issues.

Bungie were amazing under MS.

You must mean Lion Head Studios who haven't made a good game in 20 years?

Or do you mean Ensemble Studios, who were merged internally within MS?

I am curious on your answers.

EA and Activison would be more correct.

Digital Anvil, Ensemble Studios, FASA Studios, Press Play, Lionhead...

RARE i not the same developer it used to be.

I think the biggest losses for me personally as a PC gamer has actually been Digital Anvil followed by Ensemble Studios, they both made some of my favorite games of all time.

I see the future Dragon Age being their last bastion for having a strong future as a company so here's hoping it delivers.

I do not know if it is true but EA's influence seems to have very negative effects on these developers,restricting creative freedom and forcing short term financial gains upon games that ultimately destroys all goodwill consumers have with them.

Well we all know Rare's falling was not due to MS so that shouldn't be used as a MS fault.

As for Digital Anvil, FASA Studios and Press Play, I cant say I know what they made. Press Play sounds familiar.

Kotor. They became famous for KoTor. At least to me. We just need a good Kotor prequel/sequel/remake and they would be in good graces again. I'd like to see a prequel game, with showing Reven and Mal. doing the mission where they discover the sith emperor as young Jedi warlords, with them turning dark at the end.

EA is too dumb to realize this. Or they think it wouldn’t make them enough profit since it’s aim wouldn’t be to steal people’s money. A KotOR made by Bioware that’s also good would be the and the first in fifteen years now.

Just like all EA studios that are not EA Sports, they have been used and squoze for all that they're worth. Now that they have lost that spark that made them great, EA will dismantle them, either firing their staff or redistributing them to other studios. Such is the way of EA. Dragon Age won't save them.

You know it deserves the GOTY.

EA and MS destroy studios, I would not be surprised.

Indeed. Sony as well, since they've killed off 6 studios in the last decade.

Bet with Intrinsic:

The Switch will outsell 3DS (based on VGchartz numbers), according to me, while Intrinsic thinks the opposite will hold true. One month avatar control for the loser's avatar.
