Monday: Greet your new overlords: EA confirms buyout of DICE (Digital Illusions CE), the game studio responsible for Battlefield 1942.
Friday: Welcome to unemployment! EA confirms closure of DICE Canada, the Canadian branch of DICE.
Same old EA. The current situation that DICE is in will likely bear a large resemblance to that which eventually became of Westwood, Maxis, Bullfrog and Origin Systems, and there is no doubt in my mind that they bought DICE for BF1942, and that DICE, under the control of EA will just be making BF1942 (and sequels of BF1942) until the day they close shop.
