How EA Can Turn The NCAA Suit Into an Opportunity for Profit

With the NCAA declining to allow EA to publish a NCAA Football game while the suit over players' likenesses is resolved, EA is left with one of their star sports franchises in limbo for the next year.  Rather than letting this become a handicap, EA has a unique chance to alter their business model to seize an opportunity.

Et tu, Bioware?

 In a move that should surprise absolutely nobody, the nets are bustling with reports that Bioware is the next studio to be fed into the EA woodchipper.  According to Eurogamer, Dr. Greg Zeschuk has hung up the mantle at Bioware Austin, and it's to be re-branded EA Austin.  Another site speculates that Ray may not be far behind.  While I'm excited to see what the Doctors' next project would be, this news leads me to believe that Bioware is being tossed in the same woodchipper that other prominent studios found themselves in.
