Electronic Arts Acquires Playfish

Today it’s been announced that Playfish which is the company that owns Pet Society along with other social network games such as Restaraunt City, Country Story, Crazy Planets and more has just been acquired by Electronic Arts Inc. EA is a leading gaming software company that owns numerous popular games made for xbox, playstation, wii and other platforms. What does this mean for Pet Society? With any acquisition you should always expect changes which won’t happen overnight, so everyone has to be patient. I’m hoping this merger will allow PS to be fixed of glitches, hacking and cloning but to also expand the amount of servers hosting the game so the game will run a lot faster and smoother. EA is a multi-million dollar company, they could afford an extra server or a thousand. Will Pet Society become a paid subscription game? Will more items and features be added? Will this mean Pet Society will be available in Xbox? For now the answer is wait and see. Is this acquisition for the better or for the worse for Pet Society? What do you think?
