Honestly, I would put Ubisoft right up there along Clover studios and Nintendo production houses. Ubisoft  Mont is one of the best development and prod houses in the world. They put real effort into their titles.
POP
POP2
Splinter Cell
Splinter Cell Pandora tomorrow
Beyond Good and Evil.

all high quality and always progressing.

EA's 'investment' in Ubisoft is nothing but a hostile move.Being a shareholder doesn't actually entitle EA to anything as Ubi's strategies,upcoming projects and so forth are not distributed to shareholders.So there's really no corporate espionage purpose here.
There's still something like 45% of Ubi floating the open market.All EA needs to do is find the minimum amount required for them to make a takeover bid and that's that.They buy Ubisoft and then break the whole company apart to strengthen EA's failing development houses.

And for anyone mentioning FIFA,let me cough and say "Winning Eleven".Amazing how EA pumps this FIFA out every year and then Konami just yawns and tosses out Winning Eleven,making EA's game look like absolute garbage.Maybe EA can take some lessons from Konami instead of just following their same ole formula.
If any quality publisher took up those sports mantles they'd be the death of EA as far as the quality argument goes.Sega has already beaten them out in NHL and are neck and neck with the NBA license.

I will take the time to defend Squaresoft however.They haven't started a milking practice until very recently when they were taken over by Enix.I dare anyone to prove to me how more Final Fantasy games = milking especially since there are years between them all and every game is unique save for one game with a direct sequel.

yea Exar_Kun thats a good comment about the Winning Eleven Soccer but if u notice Konami seems to be getting a little greedy with the title since they see its such a hit for soccer fans especially....last year was 7 (i think, correct me if i worng) and they already bring 8.

But as u said it is a better title, once they don't become as EA just releasing a series "because". Then too EA not really dominant is just as said before more releases which means less effort put into it....for example which fighting game EA ever released that was a hit?(if they released any at all)...I don't think they could even compete with titles like Capcom, Konami SNK etc... so many titles and i don't think they would think about sell to EA.

In my opinion EA more into sports and somewhat illegal stuff i.e. Burnout & NFSU (1 or 2)

I've played FIFA SOCCER (EA) for quite sometime and as the years go by u see graphics slowly lacking (even though they make it to be supported by as much pc's as possible, which is good). First bad move was taking out the "shakes"/"beats" ...then they had crappy camera angles.
The only thing really was harder profession levels, but the worst of all was that Trinidad hardly ever in it (bleh). But seriously their quality is degrading and soon people who come to their senses may stop supporting it...to me FIFA 1998 to 2001 was the best they had but after that...... :(  :(

but overall as said before they just have ownership not much skills, because any real  gamer would know better games take longer to create.....

i could go on and on but i would take a whole page just wanted to give a general comment B)  B)  B)
