If EA is only funding the game, then I'll buy it.

If EA is influencing gameplay decisions and adding a "timer" as to when the game has to be done and out the door by, then I'll pass. They fucked up too many games this way...just let the developers do what they're good at. Publishers are only good at funding games...they have an inherant tendency to fuck up everything else they touch, should they decide to do so.

If EA is ONLY handling mkt, sales, and distribution, this is very good for Hellgate. As much as you hate the company, EA has the best marketing in the industry. It's why Madden flies off shelves every year.
