yea so is Star tropic and king of figters games come and go all the time that do not mean EA did anithing bad if a game dies off its because WE dont buy it then bitch about it
look at Alan Wake it sold bad because the media shred it to pieces at the time it came out and now they bitching why AW2 is not out PC gamers especially who get hack copy of the game then wonder why there is no budget to make part 2
PC Gamers made Alan Wake more famous. It barely sold 1.5 million units in 2 years on Xbox 360.

Sales reached 3 million in one year after the release of PC version, that also covered its development cost in just 48 hours.

Victim?
Mass Effect its awsom so was Sims and many of thos games what your point here that you dont like games that are good
EA killed those studios with their bad policies. Sim City was broken and had online only DRM. The game didn't work for several days. Sim franchise sells a lot of copies when done right. It has sold over 150 million units. Don't blame consumers for bad EA policies.

Same was the case with other studios. EA wants "moar" and even if the game is profitable, if it isn't "good enough", they shut down the studio, even if it was THEIR fault in the first place. As for Bioware, Mass Effect 2 was their last satisfactory product, that gave players a great experience from beginning to end.
Mass Effect 3 removed dark energy and human diversity plot entirely, which made its story very straight forward, stupid and simple compared to Mass Effect 1 and 2. And don't even get me started on that ending. Dragon Age 2 was garbage, Inquisition was wannabe MMO with fetch quests everywhere and extremely dumbed down RPG elements. Bioware's key people left a long time ago, thanks to EA.
