Activision, Codemasters and Electronic Arts are stopping all development for the Gamecube.

They all make pretty crappy games on the whole, but EA support pretty much guarantees software sales in the west. Gamecube looks to be on shaky ground now, which is a real shame.

Don't worry. We believe you.

Someone told you it was true, so it *must* be.

I told you, this game from a guy who works for Edge, not an internet site.

Oh really, so you know something that no other site on the Internet knows?

Some of it's partially true, see my post earlier for the facts.

If EA where stopping making games for the Cube why would they have recently announced The Sims, the new F1 game and NBA Street 2 for it?

What - No more Tony Hawks games on GC - what a shame that we'll miss out on Tony Hawks 17 with the new improved double radial nose flip googly backside traverse.

Hmmm.....

EA giving up on the opportunity to flog a few hundred thousand copies of anything they produce seems a bit rash but hey - I suppose they now what they are doing ?

Codies havn't really done much for GC anyway (anything ?) so that wont make much of a difference.

Well, if you insist on posting unfounded stories in the GC forum, where some of them are very well informed in respect to their beloved console, then you'll get bitten.

If you can't handle that, then research your posts better and back-up your arguments, otherwise you just encourage people to take a dig at you.

WRONG WRONG WRONG WRONG

Ea are thinking about cutting down on the amount of Sports games released on the system. Codemasters it seems are stopping production of games for Cube, to be honest who really gives a toss about them?

Oh and SEGA have cancelled the sports games for Cube.

Quite where you got Activision from I don't know.

When? Was it when I said it would be a shame if the GC was a flop? The trouble is everyone around these boards has their head jammed so far up their backsides that EVERYTHING becomes a fanboy issue.

It was that post "Looks like you lot won't be online for a while..." which told me it would be a bad idea to post the message in the GC forum, cos that guy came across as a total *&^*.

And all the GC people still got to see the message didn't they? Maybe if you didn't come over here to "gloat" so often then you wouldn't have any cause for complaint.

Then you didn't think it out properly did you? Posting in the GC forum would have been informative for the Ninties, assuming what you have said is actually factual, but posting it here DOES make you look like a gloating PS2 fanboy.

Which you come across as anyway.
