Interview: McMillan and Lau-Kee on RenderWare's future

Following today's surprise acquisition of Criterion by Electronic Arts, we spoke with Criterion CEO David Lau-Kee and EA worldwide studios VP Bruce McMillan about the future of the industry's most popular middleware platform.

In [today's interview], both men speak about their intentions for the future of Criterion and for EA's involvement in the middleware market, and outline a vision which sees EA striving to grow the industry as a whole by making its own internal technologies available through RenderWare.

The platform will continue to be supplied to third parties, they reaffirmed - with McMillan adamant that EA's intention is "to help the industry be robust and healthy," while Lau-Kee assured us that for now, it would be "business as usual" for Criterion.
