I love how DICE has utterly ruined EA.

 

Couldn't have happened to a more deserving developer/publisher.

That makes no sense, if anything it’s the other way around. Before EA bought DICE they made BF2 (the greatest MP shooter of all time). Every game since then hasn’t been able to measure up, and that’s coming from someone who has liked all of them to varying degrees.

DICE management was promoted into running EA, overall.

 

Need for Speed? Gone.  If it wasn't for FIFA, their Sports division would be, at best, in gradual decline.

 

Mass Effect, Dead Space, Mirror's Edge turned into half-assed AA-quality games. It almost feels like DICE has to churn out games faster because the previous one underperformed.  This especially accelerated when they tried to handle Star Wars Battle and Battlefield Hardline and they just completely shit the bed with both projects, and threw them out of whack.

 

New gaming projects? Cancelled (Star Wars game).

 

This is the biggest sign, right here. The BEST-looking, most-promising EA game is Anthem, that was made entirely separate from the rest of the DICE-influenced EA studios. But we don't know that outcome, its another Frostbite engine game, and there's a good chance that Bioware learned their online design from DICE. So god only knows what could happen there.
