I to have avoided spending money on EA products for couple of years now, the only one I granted myself was BF3.
EA is for me the very worst company out there in the business. They incarnated for me the worst of the worst, money-grubbing is all that matter, the goal is not to make a god product; the goal is to milk as much money from the customers as possible. There is a difference between profit and milking.
Disproportionate micro transaction, DLCs, the lovely online passes, DRM, always online, Origins (remember that they scanned your PC, your FULL PC(!) and you even have to agree with it, in order to use this "service". Exempt DICE, nothing god comes from this company. They destroyed the vision of my two most favored Doctors at Bio Ware, ****** up Mass Effect, ****** up Stars Wars Online, ****** up SimCity and boy, donGÇÖt get me even started what I hate else, I would hit the character limit GǪ
In general I hate companies how need to sell multiple millions of games in order to be successful, it shows me that they become way to big and losing way too much money in game irrelevant things. Please read this:

But one last thing, do you remember when EA stepped up and say: GÇ£we will cancel the online passesGÇ¥? Yes? Well guess what, they did it because they were hoping to get this money from you thorough the Xbone, now that Microsoft GÇ£listen to the feedbackGÇ¥ and removed the old policies all we need to do is wait until EA find another word for online pass to milk once again the costumer.
And now we have a Senior Vice Prsesidnt Product Development guy from EA. Well boys and grils, get ready to pay $$ for SP, $$ for color patterns, $$ for planets in Dust, $$ for "Map DLCs", $$ for everything that should be allready in the game.
WAIT!! Now everyting makes sence, guys if you like to use the gallente heavy, all you need to do is pay for it! |

half of the games that you listed are ancient. A generation of ppl has matured and entered the workforce since some of them were released. EA today is not the same company that released Syndicate -- that must have been 20 years ago. I am not saying that this completely invalidates your list but I am just saying that the old games you mention should probably be kept out of the discussion.
There are some objective metrics too (I am happy to discuss them with anyone interested). You liked DA2 - fine who am I to say that you are wrong but it's plain to see that it was a rushed, cheaper sequel of DA:O with emphasis on making money and product quality left the background. I mean what a surprise: the old bioware spends ?5-6 years making DA:O that has mind boggling story, complexity, branching, voice acting etc. Then they get bought by EA. What do you know, a couple of years down the road a half baked sequel rolls out that has "rushed' stamped on each side of it. Good job EA. It really takes an expert to bastardize things the way you do.
I used to worship bioware. Now I wont come within a nuclear blast radius of them. All thanks to the loving EA touch.
I used to be a sucker for Bioware, and I loved every single game, starting with Baldurs Gate. After EA I liked the company less and less with every game, like I told it here. |
