I still buy some though, BF3 + BF4 so I guess I'm a hypocrite. But like I've said, their multiplayer is in the same style as every single other (ok most) multiplayer titles before it, just shows that they're not really doing anything new, which is what gamers want.
With me it's just the capitalization and profit before anything else, that has kinda ruined it all.
I remember back in the late 90s early 2000s loving the 'Ea games, It's in the game'.. They had great things, now it's all upside down, and them destroying game series which I think is where all the upset comes from, and now turning the game industry into Rich = win Poor = Lose, badly..
They've gone in a horrible direction, just like ID have. Ok ID haven't been as bad, but come on we've all felt the massive disappointment and let down from developers we once worshipped..
Ea just want to make you broke in the process. You spend £40 you will suffer, you spend £60 you will dominate and destroy all those with lower budgets than you, how is that fair for all?

Day one DLC/season passes/premuim etc is only justified if they make money.
This is how the shareholders and executives think. EA has become such a large corporation it no longer cares about what the customer wants, its all about the money. Its why they've become one of the most hated companies in the world.
EA can say they will change, but its all just talk. The only way EA will change is if the company falls apart and goes into administration and it has a top down leadership change. Replace the whole board with people that actually care about customers more than profit.

Large corporations very much what the customer wants, since it's the customer who buys their products and gives them money. And from a money point of view the mass market laps up cookie-cutter sequels and DLC so they will keep churning them out. EA are always going to focus on the mass market rather than the niche gamer, and they're currently publishing what the mass market buys. They will only stop when the mass market stops buying it (hopefully sooner rather than later!)
What about the the shareholders of all these studios that agreed to be consumed by EA in return for massive piles of money?
Innocent victims in the face of a monstrous cancer on the industry? Give me a break.
EA is just the Michael Bay of gaming, they make big budget productions with mass market appeal, and people LAP it up. Don't like it? Don'y buy, there's never been so much choice elsewhere.
As I said earlier, the uncomfortable truth that no one seems to acknowledge here, is that all these studios that have been 'killed off' by EA, THEY made the decision to sell out to EA. THEY are responsible for that decision.
