Electronic Arts could be the latest company to dedicate an entire studio to Kinect and motion control game development.
The publisher announced today that it will move its Salt Lake team to a new 20,000 square foot building in the Utah capital.

No where in the body of the article or in any of the associated quotes does it say that the studio is being used for Kinect and Kinect alone. In fact, it mentions that they're migrating the people who made Wii games under the 'EA Play' to the new facility.

Jesus, can't "journalists" even write a proper title anymore? "EA expands motion control facility" would be more appropriate. But I guess you have to get hits, by making it seem like some Kinect/ EA coup. Ridiculous.
change the title
