Microtransactions will be in every EA game

BUT IF EA SAYS IT THEN ITS EVIL!!!

actually that's an interesting point about TCG. It's obvious it's only purpose was to be a tie in to the animated series. The question is who aproaced who about making it. Did Sony go to Lucasarts or did Lucasarts go to Sony and tell them they have to make it if they want to keep SWG running.

EQ2 got its own TCG years bofore SWG so I think SOE just saw the potential and in combination with SWG housing it was goldmine for years.

If Bioware didn't care about money then why did they sell out to EA?

They didnt buy Bioware exactly, they bought VG Holding Corp who owned bioware and pandemic if i remember right.

I don't know but this will not end well for Bioware, I edited the post you quoted to include a list of 15 companies that died after being aquired by EA. Why Pandemic? WHY?!

i'm sorry i meant The Clone Wars game not the trading card game.

Alot of those were change from companys to departments of EA, infact alot are actualy named as departments, as such when the department close most if not all of the staff went somewhere else in EA, westwood is a good example, most of them were spread across EA and i truly love westwood but they did themselves no favours with so many failed games. they cost EA millions. As for pandemic not a clue what happened to them. Another example is mythic, they closed but in reality they were folded into bioware.

Another thing to remember is they shipped alot over to south korea, EA are freaking huge over there.

The Dark Knight Video game killed them, I read that it was because EA kept wanted the direction of it changed from controlled to a sandbox when it was nearly done. I don't remember where I read that, I think it may have been Kotaku. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Dar...ht_(video_game)
