[QUOTE="RoosTah, post: 359188, member: 12207"] Yes, EA Canada. Much like how EA LA made C&C 4. But this isn't actually Electronic Arts, it's still developers they've set up or taken over. For example, EA LA was the remnants of what was once the independent "Westwood Studios". Now, after the abysmal and deserved failure that was C&C4 EA LA was shut down, but that's not the same as EA going bankrupt if you follow me. It simply means that a subsidiary has no longer proved profitable. And that's what these EA devs are, subsidiaries. They are beholden to EA, but that doesn't make EA a developer; it simply means that EA controls a vast number of developers, some of whom it owns directly and others it merely contracts for specific projects, but these are still separate organs. It's quite possible for EA Canada to be bought out by a rival gaming corporation and then given a new ***le to reflect that publisher. In any case it doesn't change the fact that EA have the means to fund the development of a great rugby game if they really wanted to, but they have consciously decided that Rugby is not for them and that it doesn't deserve the kind of investment that American Football and Soccer command.
