Electronic Arts, Spielberg in Game Sequel
EA's deal is with Spielberg, not Spielberg's DreamWorks(DWA) studio, Young said. EA declined to give the financial details of the arrangement with the director, who will have an office in the Los Angeles studio. But Young said Spielberg will "participate in the success" of the games he helps develop, while EA also should see upside if the games are turned into movies or television shows.
The agreement is something of a return to roots for E.A.'s Los Angeles studio. The studio began its life as DreamWorks Interactive division. In collaboration with Spielberg, the studio developed the Medal of Honor series, which has become a hit. EA acquired DreamWorks Interactive from DreamWorks and Microsoft (MSFT) in February 2000.TheStreet Premium Services
