EA closes down Westwood

EA is the worst company in the industry. The only decent games they released this year were NFP:HP2 and LOTR. This years MOH was pretty awful.
First they fux0r up the Ultima series, now this...

And we will see no further releases in this series from EA, thanks to its being axed. *sigh*

No! Not Westwood. Now I have no idea where I can get my FMV fix. (Although it looked like they were trying to finally move away from FMV with C&C Generals)

I really liked the campy humor of Red Alert 2. I was really hoping for a sequel, but now it looks like it will never happen. :(

No, EA at least can put out a good game on occassion.

Acclaim, on the other hand...

Acclaim put out Aggressive Inline, which is better than a year's worth of EA releases, especially considering half their releases are minor Sims add-ons.

And Acclaim doesn't flood the market w/ as much fodder. Sure, they put out their share of garbage, but its no where near the volume of EA.

EA is the fucking devil. Everytime I buy a PC game with their name on it I cringe.

Heh, this reminds me of when I bought the original Sims what seems like so long ago. I saw EA was publishing it and almost put it back down, but in the end decided to buy it anyway. Still unsure if I made the right choice, but the Sims were fun for a little while at least.
