Ah-ha! Just saw a post at BioWare's forum which confirms my suspicions:
"the picture with the bioware=kotor+mmo etc, is a slide from an EA Q+A to explain where EA stand against other companies in top game sales, not what games are being developed, I just listened to 2+ hours of the thing, and the only mention of Bioware is that EA will be looking in to Taking over the RPG market in the next few years..."
I'd like to see a new KOTOR game as much as the next person but I've got a feeling that people just see what they want to see.
That screenshot looks more like a list of EA's studios/partners with the game titles they have licences for. Isn't it? Notice that KOTOR is listed as "KOTOR" (which is what BioWare had made) and not like "KOTOR 3", though "Mercenaries 2" is specifically listed with the 2.
And who exactly is that analyst and where's his report? All I can see at the eurogamer.net's link is EA's corporate profile and annual report. Not a word about neither KOTOR nor MMO.
Knights of the Old Republic (not necessarily) back in BioWare's hands
