Doug Church joins EA
   

While not likely to be RPG-related (what was EA's last cRPG? I'd have to think), some readers might be interested to know that ex-Looking Glass and Ion Storm guru Doug Church has joined EA as the Executive Producer for their LA studio, according to <a href="http://www.cgonline.com/content/view/1022/2/" target="_blank">Computer Games</a>. Hopefully at least a tiny bit of the genius will rub off.

Why? Simple, money...

With this news, and the recent distribution agreement between EA and Valve (the people behind the Half-Life series), I'm starting to wonder if there's someone not bought by EA when the year ends...

And for the record, I HATE EA. It's not because they're "big", it's simply because they are the main cause this industry is now 95% of mediocre crap with 7 expansion packs on top of it.
Remember Origin? Westwood? And many others...

He used to be one of the unsung heros of the gaming world, now he's a whore. I hope he's getting truckloads of money, if your going to sell you soul you should get a fair price.

There's always the option that having a good-guy on the inside is a good thing.
