Firstly EA owns the IP not any new studio ex-Mythic employees might form. Secondly even making a mobile game costs fair amount of money so you would expect they would need to go to a bank or try their luck on Kickstarter, maybe even begging bowl to another publisher. If they do a knock-off they would end up being sued…

Mythic went 7 years between DAoC and their next released game Warhammer Online, they still got paychecks despite no other titles released in that time, the following years they released to retail one addon and one mobile game yet once again many in the studio remained employed during the development of both of them…
Your fate is always in someone else's hands in every single aspect of your life from the day you are born whether you realize it or not. Especially in any job, as an employee you will always have a superior to answer to whether that's a manager, even if you were the CEO the customers are your boss in terms of a…
He looks like one of those annoying bollock-stabbers from Skyrim's Dragonborn DLC in that picture. Though I must admit the above drawn picture is pretty cool unlike the little douchebags from Skyrim jumping out of boxes to stab me in my balls all the time.
I used to love the magazines prior to the surge of the internet and game magazines in general back in those days for the demo discs, even game/demo tapes that came sellotaped to the magazine covers. But to be honest the internet version of CvG site specifically was truly horrible which made Gawkers advert infested…
I replied to you on this because I found your comment very immature. What you basically said when paraphrased in my opinion was "How dare EA the evil bastards give studio x millions of their own dollars to make a game they think might sell well (a game that for all you know Mythic pitched to EA instead of EA…
In my case they screwed up the description of the game I pre-ordered, their ToS and policies also were inaccurate and misleading so when I had a problem with aforementioned pre-order because of it they basically turned around and metaphorically stuck two fingers up at me followed up by giving me a link to a ToS…
I am betting it matters to you too such things, I bet it is partially why you bought a Xbox One or PS4 after a Xbox or PS3, upgraded your PC if had one or like when bought a Snes after owning a Nes or Megadrive after a Master System, a PSP or DS after owning a Gameboy. Technology evolves and the consumers want an…
But even so I still consider it better to not jump on the hate bandwagon or make big assumptions and grab torches and pitchforks accusing one side or the other of being in the wrong when no direct evidence has been given in this case.
Obviously? You have proof that EA specifically told them to make a mobile version or that Mythic did not pitch the mobile version to EA themselves? If not then the term 'obviously' does not apply.
Nope. They are without any doubt not the worst company in the nation full stop/end of story.
I see a lot of people 'claiming' EA forced Mythic to do things and put out a poor quality product but no evidence to back such comments up. If you rely on assumption it just makes a fool out of you or others who do so.
I agree and stated the same that the versions of the game should make optimal use of the hardware for each platform it is released on. The problem I had with what Kirk said is he questioned why the Xbox One never had the best version aka the definitive version, the Xbox One is not the definitive platform from a…
Nice attempt to turn this into discussion about entitlement but I never implied or said I was entitled to anything for free. You said Steam does everything better, I gave you an example comparison (multiple examples in fact where Steams service is not better) between two distribution clients/services which proved what…
Okay I will rephrase, Origin in the past couple of months since they introduced this free game per month feature has given me three games Deadspace, BF3 and Plants vs Zombies.
Not sure what your going on about regarding the @ sign since my login using the @ sign works fine and it very much does allow me to put the @ symbol in the email field on the client. However I will give you the benefit of the doubt that maybe this is a Mac only client problem because it is not a problem on the Windows…
Not true, Steam mostly puts time limits on their free games for example free weekend playing them not keep forever. Secondly Origins refund policy is a thousand times better than Steams. Thirdly Origin client is faster and takes less resources to run than Steam. Lastly I have had much better quality of service from…
The not-on-PlayStation Titanfall has certainly been the most successful game on the Xbox One. However, the Xbox One didn't even get the definitive version that game, which ran noticeably more smoothly on PC and without the Xbox One version's ugly screen-tearing. It's still a super fun game—I play more or less…
That's why I said 'a lot' not 'all'. :)
