Bioware's Making a New Ultima

[Darth Marsden]

Yes. Yes they are. (http://kotaku.com/5925350/bioware-is-making-a-new-ultima-rpg) And it's free-to-play, so we can see how they cock it up for nothing. :)

EDIT: Truth in fiction.

Did anyone ever try that F2P Command and Conquer thing that "Bioware" did? I know I sure didn't!

Origin Systems should be among the dead... after all, EA rapedalso used the name for their new DRM shittyshit.

[Rather Dashing]

There is no way this is going to end well.

The first challenge will be getting Origin on your harddrive without hating yourself forever for it.

That reminds me.

I really need to finish Ultima.

Me too, budddyyyyy. I need to be able to rant about this.

[Ringed Raygun]

Oh my god, we need to alert the Spoony One.

[Secret Fawful]

Oh, he knows. He's pissed.

[Ringed Raygun]

Well, I figured as much.

Maybe Bioware, after its inevitable death at the hands of EA, will go the way of Telltale or Obsidian and make a whole new company comprised of disgruntled former members dedicated to making fine games based on and inspired by their former licenses.

Also, I wonder what Richard Garriott thinks of this mess?

I'll never purchase or play an EA product, but I just wanted to say that the 2nd panel of that comic almost brought a tear to my eye. So many great companies wasted.

Agreed. The Saboteur would've been so much better if Pandemic were given the time to polish it more. Just plain unfortunate -- the game had potential to be so much more . . . exciting.

Anyway, though, I won't go on about that.

[Shadowknight1]

Wow...I'm surprised at the lack of this joke, so I must(in spite of myself) make it.

Yay, so Bioware can f#*% up ANOTHER ENDING!!!

[Darth Marsden]

Ah, but it's an MMO. It Never Ends.

[Rather Dashing]

Ah, but it's an MMO. It Never Ends.
Tell that to Star Wars Galaxies.

[Secret Fawful]

Pants sitting alone in a server talking to imaginary players and sobbing gently to himself while rocking in his chair still counts as a player, right?

[Darth Marsden]

Tell that to Star Wars Galaxies.That didn't end. It failed.
