EA Pledges Total Freedom For Studios With Game Development, Including Dragon Age, Titanfall, And More - Game Informer

I think this is a great move by EA. Although, I can't help but wonder what "Total Freedom" and "creative autonomy" really means. It is certainly a good thing to aspire to, but not so easy for a big corporate to actually deliver on.

"While EA retains the right to have the final say as the publisher, the company is moving in a direction to provide more "creative autonomy" that has always existed on some level, but will now be a bigger focus."
