Gargamel, you should have posted TL;DR.
Silly willy.
Ea destroys anything they buy.
They lack any creativity of their own, so they buy up established franchises, then ruin them with their beaurocratic bull-crap.
That's why I admire companies like Paradox, they at least have the respect to support and fix games long after release. Ea? Yeah sure.
Next quarter your game is all forgotten about.
Last EA game I played was Madden 98. Even then I felt like the company had already jumped the shark.
They deserve whatever they get.
