I thought we agreed never to speak of that game. Those motherfuckers...

A nation consists of its laws. A nation does not consist of its situation at a given time. If an individual's morals are situational, then that individual is without morals. If a nation's laws are situational, that nation has no laws, and soon isn't a nation.

... we're a long way from Mythic / EA / UO at this point. EA became evil after they stopped developing Deluxe Paint for the Amiga. There, re-railed. Also: Guybrush Threepwood got his first name from DPaint, so EA is indirectly responsible for two of the best Lucasarts games ever (plus one OK one and one mediocre one). |

Meridian 65 doesn't exist.
Meridian 59 was never owned or operated by EA. It was published by 3DO, which went out of business. One of the developers bought the rights and is running it independently.
Yeah sorry about that, I am thinking Motor City Online, sorry about that, beginning to get my MMO's mixed up here. |

The final straw in EA evil was the NFL exclusivity deal. It was the crowning achievement in douchebaggery. And given how shitty the sports game field has been since, it merely proves the naysayers right. |

In American Politics, you can do almost whatever you want, so long as you still have enough support left over to get away with it.
In American Business, you can do almost whatever you want, so long as you still have enough money left over to get away with it.
I wonder which envies the other?
My point is that, when it comes to EA's dealings, you don't need conspiracy theories. They're quite overt about what they do. "It was sound business practice" is all the excuse you need.

EA became evil when they soiled the name of Dan Silva's great software by creating Deluxe Paint IV, which was a lousy bug ridden abomination. |

UO team puts out a little video of their last meeting at the California office. Warning, singing. Having read a few different announcements, more of the "name" developers are relocating than I expected. |
