EA reveals release info for Dead Space 2 and more

 

[Hitterman]

Yeah, I also saw this yesterday. Pretty sad but not fully unexpected

 

[omkarjere]

This is not unexpected as no release after 2007 and low sales(if compared with FIFA series)

 

[gudduthemaster]

actually they Canceled all agreement with HB Studios,Including Fifa11(Pc) etc ,so dont expect a cricket game From them in Near future

 

[zimrahil]

That in itself isn't a bad thing - HB were well past their sell by date when it comes to cricket games

And not just cricket either - HB Studios have been churning out crap for Fifa PC for too long now - hopefully this indicates a turning point for our game. Have HB ever actually made a decent game?

Not a surprise. They were making losses and their CEO had given a statement that they are going to focus on highly profitable games. A Cricket game isn't going to reach platinum sales and so they've chosen to ignore it.

Because in countries like USA, cricket is better known as....:

Also because in countries like USA we actually buy our games and pay good money for them.

Most people in the UK do as well. Probably most of Europe too - it's eastern European places, and Asia that are responsible for the majority of piracy.

50% piracy is done by Indians and Pakistanis. We know that it's not possible for every Indian to pay Rs 3000 just for a game where there salary is Rs 20,000 but in this case they should leave playing video games.

That's why I was wondering why Galli Cricket/Street Cricket UK is just $3 lol

For sure, except you forgot to exclude Spain. Its one of the only EU nations to have very lax piracy laws and rampant piracy issues.

The only reason MLB, MADDEN games are so advanced is because they generate millions of dollars of revenue.
