Any remember the c&c franchise? At first Ea only published mediocre titles like Generels and Zero Hour. Yet after they learned thier lesson they really turned around. Their latest games are almost as good as the old Westwood games.

I wouldnt worry too much, I dont know how realistic thinking this is but I think that EA needs Bioware more than Bioware needs EA...

EA isn't going to screw up Bioware and Bioware has only gotten better since it's acquisition from EA.
As game budgets increase, developers like Bioware depend on the deep pockets of companies like EA in order to not have their creativity stifled due to low budgets.
Also, EA hasn't pushed Bioware to meet rushed deadlines or been responsible for design decisions which have hurt the game.

EA and Bioware are both good.

The only people who complain about EA today are software pirates who use their hate towards EA to justify their own criminal behaviour.

Saying EA isn't going to screw up in the future is being really optimistic and ignorant to the companies history.
You thinking BW has gotten better with EA as the owner is completely subjective.
Throwing cash at someone also throws an amount of responsiblity on the loanee, EA didn't give BW money to do whatever they pleased.

EA has deadlines and requirements of it's subsidiaries, Bioware included. Releasing ME2 in the dead of January with no competition on the horizon for a month was a very EA thing to do. Whereas the more typical release date would have been Nov/Dec09 in time for Christmas.

EA invests in Bioware because they know of their ability to make quality games.  If EA were to make decisions which hampered Bioware's ability to deliver quality products, it would hurt Bioware's reputation and make them less profitable as a subsidary and EA knows it.
Releasing Mass Effect 2 in January was a sound marketing decision and it paid off.  Bioware does not have the marketing muscle and funding to pursue their talent without the help of a company like EA.  So if not EA, who else would you have liked to see buy Bioware?
Activision?

I don't understand you, could you perhaps post it again?

I liked BW before they were acquired by a bigger fish.

BW didn't need to be bought, a larger fish needed to expand so it needed to buy something like BW.



What EA knows about hampering and tampering is in the record books.



ME2 is a sequel with an established customer base of 2million, releasinging Nov or Jan would get those sales. Reducing the appearance of competition is something EA does.



Having the marketing muscle is not what a developer is for.

BW has the funding to pursue the necessary talent inorder to develop their games.

Publishers on the other hand are there to lessen the burden for a slice of the pie.



You seem to think EA rebirthed or rekindled BW in someway. It did not.

Well I live near EA Los Angeles so If they dare mess with BioWare... they have a whole other thing coming to them.. Yea that's right EA, You're located in Los Angeles, CA, on streets Jefferson and Lincoln, see, told you, my friend lives 10 feet away in the house next door...

I think the Good Doctors would disagree with you.

Wait right, now they're slave dogs of EA.  Sold their souls to the devil and killed their own company.

The two would say that BW was so financially strapped that the only way to continue to make games would to stop being independent?

The only way to have developed ME2(or any game) would require complete acquisition?

Subsidiary =/= complete acquisition

I'm sure they would tell you that to continue growing and pushing the levels of polish they most certainly did have to join a parent company.
