The latest GameInformer newsletter mentions some import news as I am fan of both companies.  EA has purchased BioWare and Pandemic Studios for a cool $860 million.   I am anxious to see how this plays out in the future.  All is not lost as mentioned when a big publisher snatches up a developer as in this story Bungie regained their independence from Microsoft after releasing at least 2 console moving titles.  The purchase details can be found here http://www.gameinformer.com/NR/exeres/6e8a58f5-8db5-45ac-ac97-234419d2a1a6.htm.

Also a tidbit of information at E3 2006 we were fortunate enough to meet an executive from Pandemic who was revealing Mass Effect, Mercenaries 2 and Jade Empire Special Edition.  IIRC the guys especially Big King took advantage of the free drinks.  Good times, good times.
