R.I.P. Origin?
[Feb 24, 2004, 11:52 am ET] –

UO Stratics
has word that the other shoe may be dropping on the developer of the Ultima and Wing Commander series. According to the report the developer's Austin-based offices will be shut down, and "Employees will be offered an opportunity to relocate to California or accept a severance package. Company officials could not be reached for comment." This consolidation fits with
the recent announcement that Maxis is likewise relocating to EA's HQ
. On a semi-related note,
Electronic Arts and the Growing Trends of the Gaming Industry on GameTheMod
discusses EA's history.

Thats to bad, I would have liked to see another MMO like UO (early days of it anyways) come out and they probably would have done it best. RIP Origin. Was fun
