...at last, a step in the right direction toward the destruction of all things Sim's (though its really far too big a cash-cow for EA to send it off to the slaughterhouse ...d'you see what i did there?...extended metaphor..eh?...)

You are the master of metaphor, sultan of simile, and nabob of alliteration. I vote you the successor to Winston Churchill. (despite your avatar!) :D

So marks the final passing of Origin. Like you, I couldn't care less about the Sims.

Quote from Reuters
Those jobs, like many of the Origin jobs from Austin, are to be moved to Redwood City.


Not closed (as the title may imply), moved. It saves EA money to have only a few big offices than a lot of small ones. Consolidation, that's all.

P.S. I thought The Sims was a good game. :t
