EA Buys 20% Of Ubisoft

Electronic Arts today announced an investment in international game developer and publisher UbiSoft Entertainment, headquartered in Rennes, France. The investment represents approximately 19.9 percent interest in the company -- shares purchased as a block from Talpa Beheer B.V. to be completed upon obtaining antitrust clearance from the U.S. government. Financial terms were not disclosed.

Hey, my dream of the BF1942 people doing a flight sim just got a little closer (UBISOFT owns IL-2)!
Just to recap, I would like to see someone do a limited, small area, high detail flight sim, like maybe flying around Manhattan, or Paris, but with great looking ground graphics, ala Battlefield 1942.

They'll start pressing for EA-style management at Ubi. programmers will end up doing 80-hour weeks and quit in disgust, or turn out low-quality work because of exhaustion.

To be honest, that may not be a such a bad thing.
In anycase EA can lick my balls, and if they wern't publishing BF2 I would boycott them. Although after they rushed out both BF Vietnam AND MOH: Pacific Assault I'm apporaching BF2 with a bit of skepticism.
