 I have no idea where this should do as there isnt an everything Bioware forum so here it shall be. 

Today Bioware became one of EA's labels and I think we should havea  thread  celebrating the fact that they've gotten so big.

Have some cake and a few beers and celebrate preferably with lots of free DLC codes for everyone who posts int he thread to congratulate you

Westwood.... mhhhh... remember nothing?

Yes, Westwood was merged into EALA, formerly Dreamworks Interactive, which was acquired in 2000 and still in existence today, 11 years later. I also remember EA Tiburon, which was acquired in 1998 as Tiburon Entertainment and is still in existence today, 13 years later. And, of course, EA Canada, which was acquired in 1991 as Distinctive Software and still in existence today, 20 years later. Game companies close up shop and new companies are formed all the time. Studios open and close all the time as the needs of the corporation and the market change.

Just look at what BioWare has accomplished in its short time as a part of EA already. We were acquired for our RPG expertise, our CEOs became leaders within EA's corporate structure, we became the flagship studio for a new label, and now we are a label. Things change, and it's not always for the bad.

So if you want to talk about EA and its acquisitions, don't forget the success stories. Thank you.

What you are missing in this is let's go with your chess analagy for a moment sure okay i'm a buisiness that makes chess games. I have a loyal fanbase which is fine but now i want to expand my fanbase so i have people outside of my loyal fanbase play the games and they say "Well it's okay but i think it would be more fun if it was a bit less complicated.  So i change the rules and make it slightly less complicated and a whole new fanbase can now relate to the game.

Anyone remember Archon? Battle Chess?
