This is cool. Not so sure about the practice of committing object files to source control, but I guess it makes sense in a "the more, the better" kind of way, at least.

As a side note, I must say that as a former (contracting) developer at an EA studio, it's a very interesting feeling to see the programmer (the programmer, as in "the one") of a recent release sit next to EA's boss and talk about the title.

Things have certainly moved on a bit, since then. :)
