Its not good news for gamers. EA are not known for taking risks or doing highly original games.

Well I saw that coming. I don't like being a pessimist but we do seem to be heading towards monopoly in PC gaming market.

I think this may be a good thing regarding Battlefield 2. Maybe, just maybe there may be more communication.

There is any amount of slagging going off on the game and recent patches over at the EA forums. Maybe if they are incorporated, Dice will actually get to see these messages.

Although the major downside to this is we wont get any free content from any games that EA is involved with.
