THE FUSE

Game designer, astronaut, and Texan castle owner Richard Garriott has revealed that he intends to take back control over Ultima, the classic RPG series he sold to EA in the ’90s. In a statement delivered to Inside Games, Garriott expressed frustration with EA’s stewardship of the series, and said he intends to retake the series as soon as next year. However, he does not intend to purchase Ultima off EA outright, instead making use of a copyright quirk.
