They know games are lucrative, but instead of trying to produce good games, they instead mediocre or worse and expect it to sell millions.

There are a ton of games I see on the shelves and wonder “WHY?!”

Big business my friend, especially when said business is run by a douchebag.

EA doesn't belong in the same sentence with Activision, at least not completely. EA will take chances on new IP. Look at Dead Space. Yes, EA also pushes out once a year titles, but they also push out new stuff as well.

True, but nine times out of ten, they don't do it for the fans. They do it for the money.

It's not about producing a good game or not. It's about producing a game for the sake of it being good. You would never put a half-assed painting in an art gallery now would you? Sometimes, EA gets lucky. Sometimes they actually find a good game to publish it, but it is like finding a diamond in a room full for crystals. Sure they all look pretty, but the diamond is more valuable for it's worth.

In order for EA to redeem themselves they need to produce a who year's worth of great games
