But in truth....

"Video games giant Electronic Arts Inc. said Thursday it would buy BioWare Corp. and Pandemic Studios for up to $860 million, a sum that's considered among the highest ever paid to acquire independent game developers."

Oh Kosc, you're such a tease.

We don't want Sins to turn into another Spore.

Kosc, just for that you are on my official must-kill list. As in next time I see you online, you are dead.

That said... EA games getting a hold of Bioware is scary. I liked the Neverwinter Nights and Baldur's Gate series, and now they will both be mud.

You deserve something horrible to happen to you Kosc.

I tell you my friends the end of the world is coming! EA will be the fifth horseman of the apocolypse (and certainly the most horrible one of all)!

I hope he bans you from the forums for a month. Its a cruel, cruel practical joke, even for you.

Better yet, lock out your account from Beta 4 access when the time comes. For, oh, a week or four. That'll do.

Both Nakor and I had the same response to the EA-Bioware/Pandemic news (we actually yelled this in the office, totally independant of one another):

"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

I would probably die even more inside if lordkosc's sick, twisted, title came true.

My heart made the same sound when I read it. It's stil screaming!

Bioware. Bioware? BBBBBBBBBBBBBBBIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOWWWWWWWWWWWWWW
WWWWWWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRREEEEEEEEEE
EEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I would cry like a little crack baby if Ironclad was bought out by EA.

Honestly, this has been the worst start to a day in a long while. because of other reasons as well, though.

EA did a good job of C&C 3 at least...

No they did not.... their support for CnC 3 is horrible. So many problems with sound playback during videos... endless threads about it but no fix. Anyway... Bioware is one above all my fav game dev company. This is the first I hear about it and I am upset now... I actually had a good day today until now.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!! At least, it's a joke... sort of... to bad for Bioware and Pandemic...

That single issue nearly destroyed any enjoyment I got out the game's campaign. It saddens me that such a silly issue wasn't resolved, yet.

I lament the loss of Bioware's independence...kharma strikes again, Bungie wrangles free of Microsoft and Bioware is swallowed by EA. Long live independence IC!
