Yes. Yes they are. And it's free-to-play, so we can see how they cock it up for nothing. :)

EDIT: Truth in fiction.

    Did anyone ever try that F2P Command and Conquer thing that "Bioware" did? I know I sure didn't!

    The first challenge will be getting Origin on your harddrive without hating yourself forever for it.

    Well, I figured as much.

    Maybe Bioware, after its inevitable death at the hands of EA, will go the way of Telltale or Obsidian and make a whole new company comprised of disgruntled former members dedicated to making fine games based on and inspired by their former licenses.

    Also, I wonder what Richard Garriott thinks of this mess?

    I'll never purchase or play an EA product, but I just wanted to say that the 2nd panel of that comic almost brought a tear to my eye. So many great companies wasted.

    Agreed. The Saboteur would've been so much better if Pandemic were given the time to polish it more. Just plain unfortunate -- the game had potential to be so much more . . . exciting.

    Anyway, though, I won't go on about that.

    Wow...I'm surprised at the lack of this joke, so I must(in spite of myself) make it.

    Yay, so Bioware can f#*% up ANOTHER ENDING!!!

    Pants sitting alone in a server talking to imaginary players and sobbing gently to himself while rocking in his chair still counts as a player, right?

    That didn't end. It failed.
