Ultima VII was the last one written before the sale of Origin to EA. I left the company right after the sale, but I remember talking to the developers of VIII. If you look behind the scenes, you see a lot of references to EA as the evil behind the scenes (remember the pyramid, the globe, and the cube? EA's logo anyone?) Richard actually thought sometimes that EA was deliberately trying to undermine them.

Thanks god it's over. [img]graemlins/1pissed.gif[/img]
