TIL that the equity firm that sold Bioware-Pandemic was co-founded by John Riccoteillio, current EA CEO. He left EA in 04'. In '05 Elevation Partners bought Bioware-Pandemic, and in 07, same year Ricotiellio went back to EA, sold B-P to EA.

Before B-P, they also tried to buy Eidos too. It's not a conventional fit, but I do think SE works well with them.
-
It's not conventional at all, but it's cool because SE has no idea how to make a western game so as far as I know they let Eidos do their thing. Unlike EA.

^Yeah. At first I didn't think it was going to work out, but once Eidos settled in they started pumping out decent games.
