In house EA stuff is a great example of how not to make PC games. ;)



If you say so...

I do. ;)

The good EA PC games are ones they published, not developed.

Happy Christmas though! :)

Yeah. That's right. I don't have a 50 in H3. I never got Onyx in Reach. If a game sucks too much, I won't even bother trying for such trivial "accolades". Besides, I've done way more things that take far more skill and talent than anything that can be done in a video game.

Gotta disagree. The Battlefield series has been really good.

Ah, but DICE was responsible for the development of the series and EA published it.

EA took them over later I believe. Not sure how much involvement they have in the running though.

Yes, I am a hypocrite, and I'm sorry. I really do mean well, but I'm not running on all cylinders.

Everytime someone buys a copy of Halo 2 Vista, a puppy dies.

EA developed Dead Space, and I think it was pretty good.

Name 1 PC developer owned by Microsoft with a decent AND popular PC game. And no Flight Simulator does not count.
IIRC the Mechwarrior series of games by FASA Interactive and owned by Microsoft was pretty good.

It was broken up, though.

Oh, I thought DICE started out as an EA team. Huh.

Well, why is the Sims so good, then?

Sure EA buys lots of smaller developers and has been doing that for years. Their long list of amazing games speaks for itself though. I mean, as publisher, they have one of the best games on the market right now in Dragon Age. People love to hate on them though, which is fine. When you are big, you are a big target. Same thing with M$, except M$'s games actually do suck.

This is the average H2 Fanboy.

50 in H2/H3? Great, but you still fail at this.

At one time they made decent pc games, then they made sucky ones, and just left the market and went to xbox.

On the first page, someone asked to name one Microsoft owned game studio that also made good and popular PC games. Here it is:

Age of Empires Series, Ensemble Studios.

Theres one game series owned by Microsoft and a good PC game series.

As for the general topic's idea. I do believe that Gearbox (who ported Halo to PC) should try and get their port onto Steam as it is PC's #1 means of distribution.

That was I, and I asked him to name one Microsoft game that they developed in house, not as publisher.

Also, Gearbox doesn't own the rights to Halo PC, Microsoft does. You'll see Halo PC on Steam when Microsoft gets rids of cheaters on H2v, i.e. never.
