Submission + - An Ironic Way To Get Back At Pirates (greenheartgames.com) 2

John Wagger writes: When Greenheart Games released their very first game, Game Dev Tycoon (for Mac, Windows and Linux) yesterday, they did something unusual and as far as I know unique. They released a cracked version of the game ourselves, minutes after opening our Store. The pirated copy was completely same as the real copy, except that after a few hours into the game, players started noticing widespread piracy of their games in the game development simulator. Hilarity ensues on the messages pirates posted around the internet, not catching the irony of the thing.

Submission + - Electronic Arts Up For Sale (ibtimes.com)

John Wagger writes: One of the world's largest gaming publishers and developers Electronic Arts has quietly put itself up for sale. While there have already been talks with private equity companies, the talks have not resulted in anything concrete. One of the sources is saying that EA would do the deal for $20 per share (currently at $14.02). Over the past year EA's stock price has fallen 37 percent. Like other major game publishers EA has been struggling against growing trend of social and mobile gaming.
