"LOL. That was a good one.

If you've ever dealt w/EA or known anyone who has before on any projects, you have no idea how ludicrous that prospect sounds."

Actually, with the money DICE got from this deal, they are supposed to develop 3 games on their own - that EA later will publish/distribute. That means even more control over the production than with BF1942 (where DICE owned the IP, but EA funded the development). It's a bigger risk too, but if the games are successful, more money will stay with the developer (DICE) rather than slip through to the publisher (EA).
