The article states that Maxis Montreal was formerly known as EA Black Box. However, EA Black Box [http://www.computerandvideogames.com/183194/every-studio-eas-bought-and-closed/ were situated in Vancouver], then moved to Burnaby, then renamed to EA Quicklime and finally [http://business.financialpost.com/2013/04/25/ea-closing-vancouver-studios-popcap-and-quicklime-in-latest-round-of-layoffs-report/ closed down earlier this year]. I haven't found any sources stating that the studio was acquired by Maxis or renamed under the Maxis brand, just [http://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:h_huqNQGAo0J:www.techspot.com/news/34668-eas-sims-3-goes-gold.html+&cd=20&hl=en&ct=clnk&gl=uk an old web cache] claiming that EA Black Box and EA Redwood Shores/Visceral worked on the game, though no specifics. Ideally we should change the developer on the appropriate pages back to EA Black Box but what of the Montreal listing on this page? {{LabSig}} 00:00, August 5, 2013 (UTC)
==Maxis Redwood==
I found [http://www.twitlonger.com/show/mfi8rf Graham's tweet reply] to @SimsDomination about Maxis Redwood, but I don't really understand what Graham implied.
<blockquote>
SimsDomination: @SimGuruGraham Which is the correct name: Maxis Redwood or The Sims Studio?
SimGuruGraham: .@SimsDomination We are The Sims Studio. There's no such thing as "Maxis Redwood". There's the Maxis development studio in Emeryville, CA, and there's the Maxis label - a division of EA that contains The Sims Studio (with locations at Redwood Shores and EA Salt Lake) and the Maxis studio.
