EA had Westwood Employees on payroll making RTS games until Generals came out when literally the last man left
WW hit a stumbling block branching out with things like Renegade and E&B around the time of the takeover but being a one trick pony is fine and they were doing perfectly well with that trick
Ironically E&B was even very critically well-received, regardless of poor sales which were as much EA's fault as the publisher at that point anyway
The studio didn't deserve to get liquidated so unfairly.

Atrocities like C&C4 and similar general trampling of the Westwood legacy long after they'd been purged from development were what finally hammered the C&C nail into RTS' coffin.

Origin was one of my favorites, Ultima 7, Wing Commander series, etc. and was the first that I remember being eaten up by EA. I wondered why the quality company would be eaten up by the company that didn't produce quality then.

Westwood Studios also made the point & click adventure games in the Kyrandia series which I loved and felt was pretty comfy.

Bullfrog made winners, uniquely interesting winners in their day. I still yearn for more games like them.

While not /vr/, Burnout 3 and Burnout Revenge are so much fun and ate up so many hours from me. I still play them every now and then.
