This is exactly what is wrong with EA. They have tortured me over the years as my wife requests one Sim game after another and then asks me to fix her comuter when they are buggy. Leave the game bugs on teh PC it is bad enough that I have t odeal with them there.
And the OP is right. It would be ideal to live without EA but they have some good ideas and massive franchises. So big that they are perpetual money makers allowing them to keep sswallowing smaller developers.
They are two things I never want to see in a console game. Framerate slowdown, and lockups. No mater how many generations we go through the technology apparently isn't there to fix them with companies like EA at the helm.
Final* Word on Game Delays:
The game will not be any better or include more content then planned. Any commnets that say so are just PR hogwash to make you feel better for having to wait.
Delays are due to lack of proper resources, skill, or adequate planning by the developer.
Do be thankful that they have enough respect for you to delay the game and maintain its intended level of quality.
