Holy mother of god, EA just got raped in the race to keep the largest Publisher crown.

KvP:
EA's been #2 behind Activision in terms of size for some time. People just happen to think of EA when they hear the words "huge game company".

As i understood it Ea had recently taken it back with the purchase of Bioware/Pandemic. It was just bitch slapped by the fact that no matter how much I may love Bioware, Blizzard has Warcraft.

Just imagine a race with 2 "great" sprinters, both working tirelessly to beat out the other, EA gets back ahead and... BLUE SHELL!

That may have been the case.

To be honest, I'm not as keen on Blizzard as I used to be. I've no interest in MMOs at all (even the KOTOR MMO that made the rumor mill rounds awhile back didn't catch my attention) and I've really grown out of RTSes, being as it is that I only play defensively, building up my base and going the "overwhelming force" route that makes me a sitting duck. With the Diablo folks gone, I've got nothing to look forward to from Blizzard.

Dimmukane:
They've been hiring people who "have a passion for the Diablo series" just so you know.  And even then, I'm still not too big on Blizzard.  WOW was (and is) shit, and fantasy RTSes just aren't as cool anymore after Civ 4 and Rise of Nations.  I was not much a fan of Diablo to begin with, even though everyone else on the internet seems to be.
