Electronic Arts today announced an investment in international game developer and publisher UbiSoft Entertainment, headquartered in Rennes, France. The investment represents approximately 19.9 percent interest in the company -- shares purchased as a block from Talpa Beheer B.V. to be completed upon obtaining antitrust clearance from the U.S. government. Financial terms were not disclosed.

Damn I imagine the next Rainbow 6 to involve car chases and rescuing a hot & unusally unproportioned damsel in distress if EA takes over.

Hmm, its kind of getting out of hand right now. Prepare to have "EA Trax" in the new Splinter Cell. ;) "Hi, this is Dude Dudesson on Stealth FM, bringing you the stealthiest music around!"

Now I hope DICE says no and stays independent.

UBI has been pissing me off too. Anyone play R6: Raven Shield? It took them like 2 years to make a patch to fix all the cheaters and bugs and the patch didnt do sh*t. Granted they will always have hackers, but they had a plan to add something more than Punkbuster but they got lazy and gave a half-assed patch and people still only have to type in the console some kind of cheat. Not sure if UBI noticed but more people are playing Raven Shield than Athena Sword showing their addons/updates suck ass.

Now some of the screenshots for the new Rainbow 6 looks like they went in a worse direction. They were console screenshots so that might be the reason it looks worse than Raven Shield.

i guess i\'ll be in the minority here...get it minority?..cause i\'m a minori...ah nevermind...seriously tho..only game i picked up from ubi was beyond good and evil..which i thought was excellent..and i plan on getting that prince persia joint....the 2nd one...

sheeit if ea keeps this up they will surely cause the big crash ofthis generation...for those of us that are old enough..remember when activision was basically the only developer makin\' games for the atari 2600?...shortly after that the console industry died for a small hiatus until the emergence of the NES system...that is what will happen if EA or any other developer becomes too big in this business...

^ Yes, I know Nolan Bushnell\'s story. Atari had a truly nice development atmosphere.... until the money greedy suits ruined it.
