EA announced today that it has successfully gobbled up both Bioware Corp. and Pandemic Studios as part of its balanced breakfast, as the company has completed its acquisition of VG Holding Corp.
EA Games label president Frank Gibeau will be overseeing the studios, while Bioware’s Ray Muzyka and Greg Zeschuk have been made Vice Presidents of EA and Co-General Managers of Bioware Corp. Andrew Goldman and Josh Resnick of Pandemic Studios have also been named Vice Presidents of EA, and Co-General Managers of Pandemic Studios, with Greg Borrud as another Vice President of EA and Chief Production officer of Pandemic.
It’s okay, I didn’t understand any of that either. The important thing here is that two development studios known for their outstanding work have been absorbed by EA Games like so many others before them. Do you see this as EA swallowing everything in sight, or as two very deserving studios getting some strong financial backing? Hit the comments and let us know what you think.
