Well how about the 3 months between the first quote and the announcement of the ME Trilogy? Actively cannibalizing sales and subsequently not releasing any DLC/making it available digitally isn't exactly being supportive. The very reason we don't have details makes it hipocrisy. It makes it seem like there is no logical reasoning behind what they are doing by pulling support while saying they still have a strong relationship. If we had details, there wouldn't be any more lies.....no starting a fire with one hand and putting out a different one with the other. You can't say you have a strong partnership with Nintendo, but not even try to bring your newest engine to the system, and thereby eliminating at least 15 future titles. It doesn't work that way....that's not a strong partnership. |
The fact that we don't have the details doesn't make it a hypocrisy, it just gives the image of it. Without knowing the details we're just making assumptions on a relationship that has obviously soured. It wouldn't be the first time this has happened in business and it won't be the last.
I'm not saying EA aren't to blame and it's obvious now that they're dropping the majority of their WiiU support, but I'm not going to jump on the 'EA=EVIL' bandwagon without a greater insight into the dealings between the two companies.
As for the Mass Effect thing, it could be on purpose but I wouldn't be surprised if it was just miscommunication and incompetence (at least at first). EA are big enough and have enough stupid people that I could see that happening.
