Well, like the man said, it is a game-by-game decision.
Although i would be happier if he stayed away from the freaking EA. I still don't forgive them HG:L.

Peace.

if you meant Hellgate london.. that utter peice of **** of a failure was because the design team bit off way more than they could chew and had nothing to do with EA.

Well EA has a strong retail presence. They can move product very well. Just don't count on them to have your back while you are developing it.

Also, I feel certain that they have significantly fewer online sales than Steam, but since those numbers are never published anywhere it is hard to tell.

HG:L is a great game. Got one of the best basis for a game ive seen a few years. The problem is that is only a sketch. If Blizzard was in charge, by now, was being launched. In its full glory, not the sketch that it is.

Yes, i bought it. And i feel robbed by EA. I paid for a game, not for a Beta.
