EA's Conquest of Origin

Posted by Zonk on from the sacking-the-villagers dept.

amitlu writes "Allen Varney wrote about EA's conquest of Origin in the Escapist this week. He covers much of EA's departure from its original values, and even has some quotes from the Garriotts, including, '[CEO] Larry Probst was often not supportive of the things I was doing, but I respect Larry because he was always clear, rational and consistent in his lack of support'"

  3. Where's my Crusader sequel! by Anonymous Coward · · Score: 2, Funny

    I always wished there was a third, last Crusader. One where that since everything is largely taken care of, the silencer just decides to go completely postal for no good reason whatsoever. I could see the commercials...

    "First, there was No Remorse..."

    [stuff exploding]

    "Then, there was No Regret..."

    [guy running around on fire]

    "Now... there's just No Reason!"
