EA increased its ownership of voting shares in fellow publisher Ubisoft to around 25 percent today, Forbes reported. Previously holding around 20 percent in voting shares, EA now controls 15 percent of the Paris-based publisher's capital. EA said it will increase its stake in Ubisoft "depending on market conditions," essentially saying it will buy more of the company if it "feels like it." It could even nominate board members if the need arose, according to the report.

EA has had a long history of taking over companies just to let them stagnate, even back when they were called ECA. I kind of remember this company called Origin, not to mention Westwood and Bullfrog. It seems Maxis was the only company that EA felt was worthy of keeping around. In closing I'll never buy another EA produced game as long as I live. That includes Crysis, no matter how pretty it is.

The last time I swore off EA games, I went out and bought BF2142 :(

Are there even any other companies that produce AA titles that haven't been tainted by EA yet? Blizzard? Sigh.
