Well, there it is. It's now official after earlier reports that EA (Electronic Arts) is being sold off to an investor consortium.

    It’s been EA since a different millenium. I think it’s time to get over it.

    FWIW, the remake itself was made by an external studio including members of the original team and they apparently collaborated closely with some sort of consulting group of modders and preservation-focused community people.

        “Principles”? Man, is that self-indulgent.

            Well, yeah, but those principles don’t typically relate to videogame companies nor to purchase habits regarding 30 year old videogames.

            Voting with your wallet is ultracapitalist, self-serving non-activism people deploy performatively to make themselves feel better about stuff they don’t care that much about, not “principles”. No offense.
