EA Buys Peggle Creator PopCap Games

I think this [http://www.nooooooooooooooo.com/] about sums up my reaction simply reading the article heading. Go to that same link if you want my reaction once I was done reading. I feel sorry for the zombies in that picture. They have no idea what horrors await them.
Saaay, can we wait until EA actually kills the studio before we start saying they are dead? Who knows, maybe nothing bad will happen to PopCap.
Also, I'm looking to buy some bridges.

Great I can't wait to start paying extra for more balls in Peggle or having to buy sunflowers in Plants Vs Zombies -_-
This actually makes me a little sad. Part of what made me love PopCap was its creation of 4th and Battery, which is not something we'd ever see coming from a major publisher. PopCap may retain autonomy and this may be a great deal, but the bottom line is that they're going to be restricted in some way from now on. Maybe not a lot, and in all likelihood they'll continue to make great games. But chances are good that they'll never be able to do something as out there as 4th and Battery is while they're under the EA umbrella.
Some bridges you say? I just so happen to have gotten some in this morning. Top O' the line
We have your classic suspension, all the hype in Frisco at the moment.
Your genuine* Roman Aquaduct. Very popular in Europe this time of year, what with the summer rush it's very uncommon, and quite expensive, I guarantee you'll not find another one this side of Rome, but I can give you a ten percent discount on this lovely little number
Now I'm not supposed to show anyone this, but we just got a new bridge in, it's brand new, extremely stylish and coveted. I guarantee with this glass bridge the women will be falling at your feet, and the neighbours will be green with envy. It's a real conversation starter too.
Umm, sorry about that, that joke got out of hand really fast. Well anyway...
Judging by EA's track record with companies it's bought, it would be a lot less painful for all of us if they just reverse back over them right now. I just can't wait until EA's marketing division try to market games to the casual facebook crowd. There will be no survivors.
