EA gets it fair share of hate too......but you guys have to realize that there are division of both companies who from time to time do care about what they put out..EA Montreal for (can't spell lol) example does a good job with the objectives and lack of standard from executives, and still make decent games....Making MW a monster during sales actually cause them to rush new games to market that weren't as innovative so it was a victim of it's own success. The trend is that games made outside the country usually get more time and more effort put in to them, We just have to be smarter consumers and more active online..eg Fans destroyed NBA live (EA) for not being innovative and got it discontinued after the tried to slap a new name on it and sell it back to us again. Rewarding NBA2k12 for being best at giving great game-play to the core gamers and forcing casuals to learn how to play or at least experience real basketball!
