All the more reason to get EA bankrupt now

Is this shit serious? Seriously? The same goes for everyone else posting rubbish like this.

Look at who will be making the games.

DICE - Battlefield, Mirrors Edge - Generally good/great games.
Visceral Games - Dead Space series - 2 out of 3 aint bad.
BioWare - Baldur's Gate, Neverwinter Nights, Knights of the Old Republic Series, Mass Effect Series, Dragon Age Series - Generally fantastic games.

There is nothing bad about this deal at all. Its great for Star Wars, EA and gamers.

Drop the port begging nonsense. Drop the trolling. Please.

You're absolutely right; EA has published some great titles, and their developers have made even more great games. But, let me counter your post:

Battlefield 4 simply looks an upgraded version of BF3; no new gameplay mechanics, only prettier graphics = stagnation. Mirror's Edge was a cool concept, but have we seen a follow up yet? Have we even heard RUMORS about a sequel? No, we haven't = EA's not taking any risks = stagnation.

2 out of 3 ain't bad, but, the 3rd instalment is more telling than any of the other 2 games; EA trying to squeeze the last dime out of that game with microtransactions; the latest game is more of an action game than the survivor horror it started out like, because it was supposed to appeal a broader audience (to make moar money) it "lost its way" and just wasn't the same kind of game anymore.

And you can't really pull up Baldur's Gate in a conversation like this. That game is like 15 years old now, and made long before EA acquired BioWare. DA2 is generally seen as inferior to DA:O, SW:OR hasn't done as well as hoped, and do I really need to bring up ME:3's ending? 

All in all, it's quite easy to see how the quality of games published by EA has gotten worse and worse over the years... Or at the very least stagnated. EA is definitely the wrong publisher/developer for Star Wars! That's a franchise that needs creativity, which EA has an aboundance of, but not using... And that's the main problem here I think. EA could do wonderful things, but they don't.
