y did you quit OSI?

Re: y did you quit OSI?

Look at the FIRST UO discs:

Origin Systems Inc. is a wholey owned subsidiary of Electronic Arts.



The intro doesn't matter: EA bought out OSI in 1992, during Ultima 7 development.

Ultima 8 came out after Ultima 7.

Ultima Online came out after Ultima 8.

Ergo: EA has *ALWAYS* owned UO. EA funded UO. EA developed UO. EA created UO. OSI was just the dev team *AT EA* that handled the actual code.


At no point in history was UO ever NOT owned by EA.

I like how somebody busted out the Discs for this. I did too.

Busted out the disc? You nuts? :-P


I couldn't begin to tell you where my original UO disc is anymore :-P


I just remember people on rec.games.computer.ultima.online arguing this point in 1997 ;->

(And 98.... And 99... And 2000.... etc... etc.... etc)

I used to watch that intro from time to time before playing the game, there was no fel then, just red appear at random during hunting and a lot of hot PK spots we used to aware of, tough time if you are a PK, but good fun man.
