And a snippet from that last one:
Q: So what's the feeling in the studio regarding the Electronic Arts acquisition?
A: It came as quite a surprise for us. It was a huge surprise for me. I left for Australia last Tuesday landed on Thursday, visited Brisbane for a few days. Friday morning I get a phone call saying "You may get some questions about EA..." "OK, why?" "They just bought us." "Oh really? OK, that's kind of a shock!" It's a big surprise. We had sort of the same thing happen when we merged with Pandemic under VGH and Elevation Partners. It's definitely a change but exactly where we're going to go from here, we don't know yet. I know probably less than everyone else at BioWare at the moment because its so restrictive that we can't even send details over email so I have to wait to get back to Edmonton to learn more about the deal, but we'll see what happens. I knew this sort of thing would happen eventually but I don't think anybody at BioWare was really expecting it for a few years yet. But there's lots of possibilities now so we'll see where we go.
