    Just kill off the company already. They have only put out absolute shit these last 2 decades. Just kill it and do us all a favour.

      Probably where we’re headed, ‘private investors’ is usually code for people who are going to strip and sell off the company.

      I hope the IP lands somewhere good.

        Honestly I hope the IPs get locked up and shredded in legal battles so that we can just start fresh with some new and original ideas.

          There are some that I’d be sad about.

          I’d really like to see American Mcgee somehow get the entirety of the Alice license back under his control. That man has been trying to finish his vision in some fashion for almost 2 decades now. I think he may have finally given up, but dude has had it rough and it’s obviously his lifes work. I’d also love to see someone take the Sims back to its roots and I don’t think anyone is going to get the money required to do it right without getting the name.

      Last 2 decades? Mass Effect trilogy, DA: Origins, the last few good NFS games and so on all came out less than 2 decades ago.

      I will however admit I have no idea what they’ve made this last decade. I think they had an actually good Star Wars game with no MTX or online some time ago?

        I drew that line at Battlefield 3. That was my last Origin only game and I refuse to use any other launcher besides Steam after that.
