EA is merging their two top roleplaying game developers, BioWare and Mythic, into one massive RPG group, with BioWare’s co-founder Ray Muzyka taking the lead and Mythic’s Mark Jacobs taking a powder.
Mythic’s Mark Jacobs has revealed that Ultima Online was set to be axed by EA, but that he was able to persuade them to pump more money into relaunching the title.
