I love to say I TOLD YOU SO. So I will.

I just found out that EA is recruiting small-time developers to further establish themselves in the mobile gaming market. What does it do for the developers? They get access to EA’s branding and marketing resources and we all know how deep their pockets runs. Read the full story here.

Now the question for developers is, would taking this offer be like making a deal with the devil or be a blessing from God?

In all fairness the writing has been on the wall for months now in the Interactive Entertainment Industry. With the explosion of social gaming on Facebook and the many mobile gaming devices hitting the market, it was only a matter of time before the industry giants figured out ways to be as nimble as the indie community. So it’s not like I made some bold prediction that was unforeseeable. But you can read my gaming predictions for 2011 and decide for yourself.
