Ubi expands while EA contracts

Ubi expands while EA contracts Maybe Ubi will end up taking over EA rather than vice versa.

EA wont be taken over. They will just use outsourcing to make a slew of 50 dollar crappy sports games to keep them afloat through this.

I just hope Ubisoft will fund a modern subsim.

It's EA own damn fault, they consistently push developers to release bug ridden incomplete games. Your right EA probably outsource their development elsewhere.

Or in the case of NFL Head Coach 09, release Madden 09 in PAL countries but not Head Coach due to a "lack of consumer market"

This is EA's own fault for releasing so many garbage games, and failing to respond to trends in the gaming industry. You're looking at a direct result of the Ivy League's "quantitative" business model. The same idiots that came up with the concepts of "core business" and "Six Sigma". To hell with them, in any case. Let the market root out the fools and corporatists and reward the wise entrepenuers.

EA certainly isn't the first software manufacturer to fail and they certainly shouldn't be the last. That kind of competition is what makes great games for us. Underdog publishers have a history of releasing superior games because they have some fiscal incentive other than profit maximization.

And let's not forget the modders, God bless them.
