EA is just a ****ty corporation. Back when i was an avid gamer, i promised to never buy one of their games. But to elaborate:
- FIFA and Madden have been carrying the sports division with enormous profits but since awhile they are pretty much the same game, with better graphics and marginal improvements every year. When they had competition from 2k and Konami, they were actually better games.
- Micro-transactions that now are abundant were propelled thanks to EA. Now most their sports game comes with "Ultimate teams" modes which are just pay-to-win crap.
- creating a whole new-****ty plataform so they didn't had to pay anything to Steam
- Games with always online settings. If you don't have internet, sorry, can't play the game that you bought, even if it doesn't need internet at all
- EA buys good company and turn them into game pumping factories, focusing on nothing but the bottom line: BioWare was an incredible developer before being bought by EA, for example. Many other developers have been sucked into EA's Blackhole (Criterion, Dice, ....)

They've been under scrutiny for awhile because of its decisions and it's clear that it values money over quality, ignoring its workers and costumers. Sound familiar?
