Electronic Arts VS. MMORPG

Those of us in the MMO industry, be it fansites, devekopment, or otherwise have come to know the name Electronic Arts quite well. Mainly its subsideary company Origin Systems Inc. Started by Richard "Lord British" Garriott in 1982. Ultima Online had a great run, then the incarnation of the next big OSI hit came about, Ultima Online 2, however EA flopped it. Richard leaves OSI becuase he is sick of the way EA runs MMO's. A few years later Origin Systems Inc invites unsuspecting fan's to San Fran to be witness to its newest child, Ultima X Odyssey. A little less then a year after it was announced, OSI is "consolidated" into a EA, and Origin Systems Inc is no more. Then, a few months after that, EA decides to Discontinue development of UXO, for the dated graphics, and content of the early, yet very active Ultima Online, which is soon to hit its 7th birthday.

I petition to the Electronic Arts Board of Trustees, to GET OUT OF THE MMO GENRE.
