Probably because it would be the death of Sims is why it was canceled this way.
What in the actual fuck are you on about?
Wow people here don't comprehend the third order calculation
Ea regularly buys out or pays off anyone who makes sim competitors.
Look it up.
In order to buy out Paradox, EA would have to make an offer for their entire existing share float, which would then have to be accepted by the shareholders. This means that they would almost certainly sell their stock at over market value (because why would they accept less?).
From their point of view, this would be a good thing. So why then would the shareholders allow this project to be cancelled if it was about to net them a huge payout, according to your theory?
Holy fuck I think the bots here cant fuckin read
