Austin 360, a local news site, has put up an article on the departure of Origin founder Richard Garriott and the cancellation of Privateer Online. An extract:

Garriott founded Origin in 1982 with his brother Robert, anchoring it with his Ultima game and the hugely successful Wing Commander series created by developer Chris Roberts. Ten years later, in 1992, California-based gaming giant Electronic Arts Inc. bought Origin for $30 million.
