Funny a topic like this came up. Without even knowing about this news, I was thinking yesterday or so about what happens to game companies that get bought out. Perhaps I was thinking about this because of SquareSoft, who knows. I was thinking about what happens to the developers for that company that gets bought out, and what happens to future titles.
I don't see this is good news for the game industry personally. As you said Gabriel, the shareholders are more interested in the money, while the comsumer will get the short end of the stick. Way I see it, EA wants their hand in the cookie jar on their games so they can be the ones to walk to the bank before Take2 can.
On that note, yes, they own Rockstar

Personally I don't think I've purchased a game that EA had anything to do with in a long time! Infact, come to think of it, last time would have been THE SIMS. The original one. Wonder why they're so desperate
Too bad the NFS series went in the direction of FAST AND THE FURIOUS... I enjoyed NFS3 and High Stakes on the PC
