Not sure how right this is but i've been reading it from a bunch of differenct sources. Basically... Pandemic, Westwood and Bioware have all been bought by some entertainment and media industry. Which Bono is a partner of...Does this mean Bono is now a gamer? Or getting into the trade? Or what?

WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON HERE?! Go hunting and find out! :P

Anyone who finds out wins a.. erm.. wins VIRTUAL GOLD! <_<

Bono is the lead singer of U2.

He's the guy who constantly has the same pair of sunglasses on.

Meh lol. It says they "Merged" Perhaps this industry they're talking about is EA

Pandemics, bioware and westwood are apparantly "merged" like i said. That website kinda confirms that Bioware and Pandemic are merged. With that weird Elevation thing.

Still can't find out what Westwood have got to do with it. None of these things are clear :S and i can't find out where Bono fits into all this. For now i'll shrug it off as rumour but i'll prolly look into it more when i find a more reliable soure :).

Yeah EA owns it and I cant see them giving it up. And i just found this official press release. Pandemic and Bioware came together to form a partnership but westwood is not involved. And yes bono is now involved in gaming.

Umm doesnt EA own westwood, and EA doesnt seem like a company that would sell one of its components. I know pandemic made battlefront 1 and 2.
