Battlefield probably.

I'd guess their big money comes from the console games, Madden in particular.

They used to make a fair amount off of licensed products. In other words, you take the latest hit action movie (LOTR or whatever), plug the setting and characters into an existing game design, and work your dev project grunts around the clock. Get it on the shelf at Best Buy before everybody forgets about the movie and goes to the next one. It'll get bad reviews, but who cares. The theme and box cover will sell a good number of copies at 30-40 bucks. Repeat with the next action movie you can license.

Are you super young or am I old?
My childhood games were things like this old gem. (You can download and probably run it from there)

You have been eaten by a grue.


You are at a crossroads. There is a pirate here.

Has anyone returned to the world of the living?

They made me come to eve. So for that, thanks EA, CCP has prolly enjoyed my 3-5k over the last 11 years. (drop in the bucket i know, but still)

And most of the guys that made Westwood what it was before EA now work at Grey Box. Let's hope we get a Sim City 5 in play but not in name, minus the on-line "requirement".

P.S. Dreadnought is looking like it wants to be just the fleet battle part of Eve.


Really? I thought "most" went to Petroglyph.

Looks to me like you're correct. I might be confusing distribution with authorship.
