But sometimes, under the protection of a bigger company one migh find solace.

Look at this net that I just found DotA, the wildly popular WC3 mod. icefrog, the owner, sells it to valve, and with the help of Lord Gaben, DotA 2 is the biggest prize pool e-sport, which mean icefrog milked a ton of money from it.

Under another company doesn't mean that you are restricted. Icefrog keeps developing his game in his favor. Sure, patch 7.00 was a huge shock, but it is frog's idea. In the other hand, the very creator of PvZ got fired by EA.

Maybe PopCap wants to be freed because EA su-*ahem* is not that good? If it is, I hope PopCap can free themself (although I doubt they really want to). And then PopCap should buy Octogeddon, and rehire George Fan and co.
