My company just got bought by EA =\

I don't know why I want to share with the people here. But Jamdat just got bought by EA. By the end of this quarter, I will be an employee of Electronic Arts. Feels weird. Not too comfortable.

Isn't that a good thing? You'll have EA shares. But I hear that they work your *** off, that some people complain. But that's like all companies led by Taiwanese.

Well since your group will still be responsible for mobile games, sounds like job security may not be an issue. I am on the manufacturing end of this industry and it's really shady right now. Hopefully when PS3 and revolution come out things will stabilize again. Anyhow...good luck.
