Schorpie Posted November 11, 2005 Share Posted November 11, 2005 Westwood exist but it insn't independent.It's property of EA andthere is a reason that westwood support only games that are profitable...If westwood wom't give EA profits EA will close westwood studios...... :-uh.. ? As far as I can follow, the following happened:- The team that was behind RA2 (a group of westwood people) had many succes.- EA decided to split that team (the RA2 team) away from the original westwood, and they gave that team their own little dependent company: EA pacific.- After the release of CnC Generals and CnC Generals Rush hour EA noticed that EA pacific was functioning worse than before, so they putted the original westwood and EA pacific back together, named: EALA- Before and after the release of Battle for Middle Earth, many employees of old Westwood left EALA, some ex-westwood-topman went to blizzard, many ex-westwood-employees started their own independent company: Petroglyph (now working on Empire at War), many ex-westwood-employees are still in EALA...I just wanna say, nowadays there isn't a real 'Westwood' anymore, why ? > Westwood Studios (the company) doesn't excist anymore > The ex-westwood employees are spread over much companiesMaybe you could see EALA as the new westwood, or Petroglyph as the new westwood... but I don't Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
