Big Companies Are Getting Into The Small Scene

Recently EA has signed an agreement having exchange rights with Hasbro. This means that Hasbro can make EA themed board games. I guess we might see a EA Sports Monopoly game sooon. And EA can make board games of Hasbro products like Scrabbel, Nerf, Yahtzee, Monopoly, and the others.

EA is going to casual gaming. They plan to make high quality small games for networks such as XBox Live Arcade, Playstation Network, and um... what's the nintendo network called?... oh yah Virtual Console, or is that just old console games?... who knows... my point is that the big companies now are starting to take over the small scene.

How about those home made games that make it to XBox Live? How about those indie companies that gets an extra bonus when microsofts asks them to put there game up in Live? I believe that these big companies should stick to what they do best and leave the indie companies and homebrewers in their turf.
