The largest problem I see in the gaming industry at the moment is oversiplifying and making "cool" games, instead of focusing on good and enjoyable gameplay, balance, historical accuracy and loads of other things which make a more mature gamer satisfied. Now their primary focus is to create cool game with uber graphics and sell it to 14 year olds (no offence here) to maximise their profits. More and more games are more like public betas after the release rather than a complete game. What is even more annoying that these "fixes" of the game are sold as expansion packs! And again everything is done for more money...

The only two companies I know off which doesn't follow this pattern are Blizzard and Bethesda. They have their large fan base and make games for them which take long to make, but are good and enjoyable to play.

This is why I think that the thing like merge of EB team into CA is as likely as the end of the world tomorrow... I just hope, well I know, that EBII will be awesome and worht waiting. Because EB team are even better then Blizzard or Bethesda as they don't seek any profit from what they are doing.
