I'm not trying to bash anybody on here, but it seems like everyone is almost unanimously coming to the conclusion that this merger will bring everything down to hell out of loyalties to 2K. I favor 2K games cause they seem to run better than EA Sports at the moment, but why do most people feel EA will simply abolish the competition rather than bring them on board to make a better game? Sorry if I'm a noob, but isn't Peter Moore joining the EA Sports team pretty new? Do people not think he will change the customer satisfaction standard? I'm not too familiar with how he handled things at Microsoft. Someone please shed some light for me.

Sadly its just the likely scenario when you have one shareholder owned company buying another. They are more interested in the revenue that can be gained by cutting jobs that are redundant after the move is final.

Plus it really seems this is more about the Bioshock, GTA and non-sports gamers from EA's point of view.
