seems relevant. don't worry i'll have a whip round to help fund the lawsuit. only joking. about the lawsuit.
anyway does that mean pop cap games will now be distributed exclusively through origin?

Re: Episode 11 - Plants vs. EA
So, does anyone hold out any hope for PopCap at all?
I totally do not. EA's not got a good track record at this. I really, really want everyone at EA to watch this video. Not for the tips: So that they understand at a deep level that this is their brand identity now. EA are those people who buy up good studios and wreck them.
Sorry, I'll stop being depressed now.

The MadCatz story was so good, SO GOOD, I was ROFLing all over the place. Kathleen's execution on that one was flawless.
I love Checkpoint so much. It's like Rapidfire and ENN had a beautiful, beautiful child, with slick graphics and GAMES FOR CATS. Heeeeeeeee. So good.

Re: Episode 11 - Plants vs. EA
Ugh, when I become a huge multinational company, there's just so many things to remember... I have to not only not be Sony (or at least be less so), but now I have to not be like EA? I think this is just getting too complicated...
While no one overhear you quickly tell me not cow cow.
but how about watch phone?

Y'know, I miss Ryan Quickbender. I just want to hear, "Hello, cashbags," one more time.
Re: Episode 11 - Plants vs. EA
Games for cats, huh? I wonder if Khaavren and Annika will be testers?
I can see it now..."My cat hates: Escort missions!" "My cat hates: stupidly easy achievements." "My cat hates: PVP griefers."

Re: Episode 11 - Plants vs. EA
I will just try to console myself by knowing that the PopCap games I purchased before EA bought them will continue to be awesome.
Oh wait, can EA release patches for that? Nooooooo!

Re: Episode 11 - Plants vs. EA
This makes me wish I had bought the PopCap bundle during the Steam summer sale. I could have gotten everything before EA messes with it.

Re: Episode 11 - Plants vs. EA
So, will Kathleen's games-for-cats company have to compete with the games-for-cats company that was featured on ENN?
