Westwood Studios And EA Pacific Cease To Exist - [22:47 29 January 2003 dennis_s PC News ]
EA sends a press release containing their revenue numbers for Q4 2002 ($1.23 billion), but more importantly it contains information that Las Vegas based Westwood Studios and Irvine based EA Pacific will stop existing as separate studios and will be merged into one big studio, to be based in Los Angeles. All current and upcoming projects of those studios (including Westwood's MMORPG Earth & Beyond) will suffer no delay in operation / development. Nevertheless, after the recent end of Rage (story) it's really sad to see yet another industry veteran go. Godbless Westwood, and thank you for all the hours of enjoyment you've brought us.
So endet ein Teil Geschichte des RTS-Genres mit C&C: Generals.
ICh finde es wirklich schade, Westwood mögen zwar bei C&C ein paar Screens gefaked haben, aber klasse waren die meisten Games trotzdem!
Bis auf RA2, ziemlich seelenloses Spiel...
Es ist schon fast unvermeidbar, dass Generals ein Verkausschlager wird, daher wundert mich die spontane Schließung seitens EA.
