Yes, this obviously spell the doom of anything good coming from these developers. :rolleyes2

Seeing as how both developing houses have made bank on their games, the goal of any business is to make money, and the heads of Bioware and Pandemic are staying in charge, I'd say their titles are still going to be as good as before. while EA will now take some of the profits, I don't see them going in and destroying the games, or even altering them really. If I were to buy a profitable business, I wouldn't change anything about it, as it's already making good money. Just my crazy thinking though.
