Electronic Arts' acquisition of BioWare and Pandemic Studios has been approved by the anti-trust authorities. The deal is expected to close in January.

I still think it's a bad thing. Look at Spore, EA keep pulling WW off it to do quick pieces of money making crap, delaying the game even more. I really hope they don't interfere with them too much but that's just not gonna happen.

Farewell Bioware, you used to make some good games.

So much for those developers... EA doesn't really have a good track record on this subject (anybody remember the Bullfrog & Westwood acquisitions?

)

Ahhh, Bullfrog makers of some of the greatest games in history, second only to The Bitmap Brothers in my mind.
