Look what you did, EA! Cody is crying in the corner right now!
EA stunned the world yesterday by announcing that it had acquired Bioware and Pandemic. Cody "Micajah" Bye, an avid Bioware fanatic, was bowled over by the news and was nearly inconsolable since he heard the news. His feelings are made clear in today's blog, "Cries of a Bioware Fanboi."
To me, this deal does nothing to Bioware but water-down the incredibly solid studio. I thought the merger with Pandemic only gave them more leverage in the overall industry scheme, but the EA acquirement has left me with a bitter taste in my mouth. I've always considered Bioware the outlier, the standalone company that has beat back giants and risen from nothing to become the studio that has amassed so much popularity. They have a different way of doing things that most other studios don't even consider.
Head over to So... Your Wife Doesn't Game? and give Cody some love.
