EA has succeeded in acquiring evil.

Full press release from EA's latest acquisition here.

Not that this is heavy stuff, I just find it disturbing. Playfish is one of the main gaming companies which creates Flash-based games found in social networking sites like Multiply and Facebook.

EA seems to expand its wingspan even in social networking games.

Amusing, I still find it odd to see EA's logo in BioWare games, and now we can see the same logo in these fluffy game sprites.

It's the doom machine!
See how they laugh at our eventual destruction.

right after they bought these guys they laid off 14% of their workforce at Tiburon (Madden, MMA, FNR4) and Black Box (NFS)

I read that too. They're reporting a huge loss yet they buy another company.

[shadowgrin]

It's company policy. If you can't produce quality games, buy them from another company.

Pet Society will definitely do the job.

[shadowgrin]

Many seems addicted to it.
What level is your pet now, Lean?

The Playfish games I enjoy are Restaurant City and Who has the Biggest Brain?


Why do I get the feeling that a flash-based NBA Live game won't be far behind to be played in social networking sites? I smell a Pet Society - NBA Live crossover.

So long as it's not the extent of any future PC releases of NBA Live, that wouldn't be so bad.

What level is your pet now, Lean?

I don't play with my pet like that.
