>Well, there are a lot of different ways for these names to get passed >along, and I react to them slightly differently. For instance (as far >as I can recall), Activision passed through a crazy series of mergers >and bankruptcies and offspins and so forth, but never entirely ceased >to exist and then some other company started using the name (like >Atari). It's like the difference between someone who has changed so >much you don't really know him any more, but is still the same actual >dude, and someone who is obviously a different dude wearing a rubber >mask. :) For whatever reason, the latter annoys me a lot more than >the former. As opposed to the third method, which is treating acquired studios with all the care of a parasitic wasp using a spider to incubate her young. Yes, EA, I'm looking at you and the hollowed-out husks you've made of several famous game studios. The final insult being when you turn them into "EA (insert city name) Studio " so as to remove any connection whatsoever to their heritage. Maxis, Westwood, and Origin are just are just a few names that EA wiped off the map over the last two decades. -------------------------- CdrMike, Overwatch Reject "You know, the world could always use more heroes." - Tracer, Overwatch |
