Off Topic - EA obtains exclusive rights to Star Wars - Forum

http://www.joystiq.com/2013/05/06/ea-disney-exclusive-rights-star-wars/ " Electronic Arts and the Walt Disney Company, which obtained the Star Wars franchise as part of its $4.05 billion acquisition of LucasFilm last year, have signed a multi-year exclusive licensing agreement to develop and publish Star Wars games. "While we don't have any details to share today on specific titles, our development teams are already brimming with design ideas," said EA Labels President Frank Gibeau. "The EA Studios that will develop these games are some of the most innovative and popular creative teams in the world, and include DICE and Visceral, in addition to the BioWare team, which is already developing for the Star Wars franchise." The financial terms of the deal weren't disclosed. EA will develop and publish new Star Wars games for the "core gaming audience" across all interactive platforms and "most popular game genres." Disney will retain certain rights to mobile, social, tablet and online games. Thoughts? Opinions? Spoiler Fuck this bullshit.

I honestly don't get all the hate for EA. I mean really, I don't. I mean I know they fucked up Ultima BAD and cut a few decent IPs but what publisher HASN'T fucked up some IPs? I honestly think that GENERALLY they make really good games. I love Battlefield and Dead Space, and find that a ton of the games I really love are EA games. I don't expect them to be perfect, but I don't think they're Activision either. I don't have sig :D -- gracy123	Posted by Onionspam#4692 on May 6, 2013, 6:58:32 PM Quote this Post

It's the fact that they are squeezing every ounce of money from their customers, and expect us to take it up the ass with a grin and offering lube.

Oh boy, more crap games on the way. Joy Reimur: even though you're wrong, why would you have faith in diamond supporters? you're talking about a group of people that are so autistic that they would spend 1000 dollars on pixels. we're almost the most idiotic group of people in this community. second to hardcore players.

EA gets their greedy hands on everything it touches...The disease should be eradicated. 猿も木から落ちる。 원숭이도 나무에서 떨어질 때가 있다. Even monkeys fall from trees. Started playing beta in March 2013, quit in March 2014, came back in March 2017, and is addicted ever since. (inb4 I quit in March 2018 (lol didn't happen yay))	Posted by NnK_Oliver#6017 on May 7, 2013, 12:02:43 AM Quote this Post
