E.A. attempts Ubi take over | Forums

[Romanov77]

For people that dont know it yet, Electronic Arts, popular producer of buggy main-stream **** games, is very near to buy Ubi Soft.

Same thing happened to Westwood Studios some time ago.
The direct consequence was the instant reduction of the Command&Conquer franchise to pure ****.
The final consequence was the total destruction of Westwood Studios.

Now... can you even imagine a Heroes game produced under EA influence without having terror creeps?

It would happen:

-Crappiest (if present) A.I. (see Battle For Middle Earth, Generals, and Red Alert 2 as example)

-Uber heavy graphic engine with lots of whstles and bells

-Ridicoluos child like gameplay

-Newbie approach to everything

-Turning of the M&M licence to mainstream ****

-Huge inbalances and lack of support


So...whats the Fabrice position on this possible take-over?

I awfully scared...

I just red a RECENT news about it...

It seems that the EAvil sucked another 8% of EA!!

Is this really the end?

I agree. Serious trouble. And i would add the 7th part: Even less hope of Linux support (psst. devs i still havent heard if it will be made)

OT: You mean Ubi, right?

BOT: Blast it, hasn’t Trip Hawkins and his get done ENOUGH damage to our series?!!

Wasn't Red Alert 2 produced by Westwood Studios?
I'm not too happy about mainstream in general, but i think that Command & Conquer: Generals is a good game.

- Sorry if this is too

Well that Yves Guillemot(head of ubisoft) is really trying to get EA of his back.
But he is (judgeing from the news) negotiateing with some chinese companies ????????
And there is a rumor about some knight in the white armour that would buy Ubi or help them to fight off EA.But this is all old news.
D**n and everything was going pretty well.
****!!!!!!
Can anyone wrom you buy ubisoft?

If there's a serious threat, the french governement will do something, don't worry too much.

Or... if they announce that there will be linux version of HOMMV... People are going to buy their stock in masses and spam everywhere to get someone to help UBI (and EA will be DDoS:ed from the web quite permanently (there are criminals among all people, and these ones have some heavy heavy weaponry, i know i have been a victim))
