Games Thirst – Amazing Life
The EA Partners program that’s thrived for many years will be coming to an end, sources have made known to GameInformer.
The two biggest games under the EA Partners umbrella are Respawn Entertainment’s game, and Fuse from Insomniac Games. Both will be safe, the sources have assured.
EA founded the consulting business with the leadership of Tom Frisina, co-founder of Accolade and Three-Sixty, in 1997. The publishing arm continued to grow, and it was the genesis of EA’s relationship with Battlefield developer DICE (which they have since acquired outright). In 2007, EA was the publishing partner for a number of major successes, including Harmonix’s Rock Band, Valve’s The Orange Box, and Crytek’s Crysis.
This is troubling news, as the partners arm of EA has produced some quality titles. The bigger question is though, what happens to Insomniac Games thereafter? And Respawn?
