Wow... I can't decide who I hate more, but this sucks. Also shows what sort of a freakin' monster EA have turned into. Ubisoft is a bag of shit as well, though I suppose EA is far worse.

This "EA buying 20% of Ubi" makes sense....
Since EA probably respects how botched the PC ports of GRAW and SC: Double Agent turned out.

EDIT:
Oh, and I'm also sure EA respects how Ubi "got" a PC-based IP (Far Cry) from a developer (Crytek) and began churning out Lord knows how many different editions and sequels under that brand name for namely the console systems.

Yuh, Ubi -- whatever happened to that PC Far Cry Expansion that was once planned, eh???? :P
