i ran across this post while searching the web. it was part of a thread about streaming/entertainment. i highlighted the part that surprised me. and here i thought EA didn't care about UO!

Bravo. As a person who co-GM'ed a private shard of Ultima Online for ten years, I can say it was one of the best experiences I ever had. Our active player base never got over 40, but the act of creating stories for those players was so addictive that I gave up my career in order to pursue story telling. However, my storytelling career was delayed because EA games sent my studio of creators evil letters telling us to stop (or else). Now, with Twitch, independent creators like myself have a safe and legal place to build a community and earn a living by spinning yarns around the campfire. Thank you. So refreshing to see a CEO with enough vision to realize that it's better to profit together, than to profit alone.
