It didnt, EA are just money Whores and closed it and relocated the staff to a larger building in LA

In the end it doesn't matter if you are who you say you are. You will still mean nothing to me.

When i have kids, everytime i drive past a fast food restaurant, im gonna punch my kid in the face, then they'll never wanna come..

No. You can't make games if you're dead. Very Happy

WS was shutterd. EA basically soaked them up into EA's new studio in Redwood Shores, CA. WS might have there own little section inside, but I highly doubt it.

Depends, after C&C Generals C&C games don't seem as good made by EA. I'm not sure if EA could pull it off like westwood did. Maybe if the westwood team are involved greatly in it's development then it may just work. Other than that I say let the C&C series rest and be remebered for what it was great for without overdoing it.

Only the E&B team and a few select others moved to Redwood Shores. The majority of people that moved went to EALA in Los Angeles. A lot of people were simple fired because EA didnt want them to move, and a lot of people didn't want to move from Vegas or didnt want to have anything to do with EA after this. Some people from EA Pacific didnt move either - since EAP wasn't the huge success and wonderful happy place that it was made out to be.

There is no Westwood anymore....just money-grabbing EA. I don't know how much Larry Probst had to do with this, but he's the CEO of EA so I blame him... and here is a photo of him... if you want to moan about him, burn it or whatever.

Money Grabbing? Is that the new little fad among all of the little kids these days? Ignorantly call a company "money-grabbing" because they want to make a profit? All companies want to make a profit, it's called business.

I think what he meant was that he thinks EA is concentrating more on profits than pleasing customers.

Hmm, if they didn't concentrate that much on pleasing their customers, they would make less of a profit, so those two are pretty much tied together. (You need customers to buy your products to make a profit. Razz )
