1 Before EA + under EA.
2 Many would argue that Origin died when Richard Garriott left it in 2000.
3 Together with BioWare.
4 Technically, DWI still exists as a division of DICE, into which it was merged.
5 Main studio shut-down.
6 Technically, this substudio was founded after the general BW buy-out, so it has been an EA subsidiary from the get-go, too.
7 Technically, Visceral has been an EA subsidiary from the get-go (as "EA Redwood Shores"), but is included on this list for completeness' sake.
8 Together with Pandemic.
