Who was surprised, honestly? It's past the mid point of the generation and it's about time we stopped getting fed dumbed down games and finally had people make something worthwhile. Looking at you BLizz and Valve....

PC is all that is left for EA to be good at. This is why Apple wants to buy them. They need to let go of Bioware before Apple acquires them.

Seriously how can EA of all companies make such idiotic comments? By the gods they started on the PC and remained their while expanding to the console. Then they have the stupidity to believe that PC gaming was on the decline? They make my head hurt.

The complex gaming world works in like the waters influenced by the moon. It waxes and wanes depending on the cycle of the moon. When the new consoles release their is a shift to console games, the after awhile there is a shift back to PC gaming. If you want to maintain equal productivity then you need to expand the game types.

This is the era of gaming where I have heard the most consistently stupid BS and idiocy from almost everyone. Capcom and EA i'm looking at you guys the most.

 

Edit: omg STAGE you are so right. Please let's not let Bioware loose their autonomy. They are the last bastion of good WRPG around.



Squilliam: On Vgcharts its a commonly accepted practice to twist the bounds of plausibility in order to support your argument or agenda so I think its pretty cool that this gives me the precedent to say whatever I damn well please.

I totally agree. Luckily they haven't decided to get their dirty paws on Bethesda as well. Although I don't like Bethesda as much as Bioware, they make great WRPG's as well. As long as those two survive, WRPG's will grow and set the bar for what an RPG should be.
