There probably a heap of people who have no idea who Joe Bostic is anyway.

For the record. CNCNZ.com is not an NZ site. I've mentioned this many times for many years now. We are an international site. Always remember that ;)

Former Westwood employee, Petroglyph Studios co-founder and creative director. That's more than enough :P

Ah Joe Bostic, a man you see often during the credits of Westwood games. :)

 

Such as this from the manual of C&C95

I knew this question would come up.....

 

 

Why did Westwood sell to EA? They kinda killed the Red Alert series. :/

 

Westwood was owned by Virgin Interactive, then sold to the Viacom/Blockbuster/Spelling conglomerate, and then finally sold to Electronic Arts. With each of these sales, it wasn't something that Westwood really had any control over. For the most part, the ownership change didn't have a day-to-day impact on the studio. The big impact was when EA decided to consolidate their studios to LA which resulted in the Westwood office closing.

I hope people realise that EA didn't just come in and take over.
