I'm not trying to say that EA is perfect. They're far from perfect. I'm also not trying to say that they develop the best games on earth. They don't. In fact, most of the points brought up are very valid. Everyone seems to misunderstand why I brought this up. I'm asking "WHY EA?".
Why not Ubisoft? For every AAA title they create for the 360 and PS3, they add another 2 horribly put together games for the Wii. Also remember that Ubisoft makes the Petz series. Ouch!
Why not Sega? The best thing they have going for it at the moment is the Condemned and Virtua Fighter series. Now tell me the Virtua Fighter series is something more than a roster update. How many times have they whored out Sonic to substandard teams?
Why not THQ? Smackdown vs. RAW is a yearly roster update. If you own a PS3 and wanted the new Frontline FPS, too bad, it's cancelled. Saints Row, as good as it was, is a GTA clone, pure and simple. Where does THQ make it's money from? Oh right, Nickelodeon games and Pixar tie-ins, which come right on time with the movies release and are of subpar quality, just like EA. MX vs. ATV, Conan, and Stuntman all underperformed critically.
Why not Konami? Where has Dance Dance Revolution really gone in the last 1,000 installments? Why not heavily criticize them for making a yearly roster update for Pro Evolution Soccer, and then STILL have it come out full of some of the worst bugs seen on a console game in a while?
Why not Activision? How many Guitar Heroes have popped up with nothing more than a few song updates and some new modes? Why make more games? Why not just patch GHIII and offer downloadable content? How about Tony Hawk? There's a dead series that is made for the money. How about Call of Duty being delivered every other year to Treyarch? Soldier of Fortune: Payback won most yearly "Worst Game of the Year" award. Marvel Ultimate Alliance is X-Men Legends with a paint-job and roster update, no?
The question is why EA? Why don't you guys hate all the big dogs with the corporate bottom-line decision making? At least EA had done a quality job with it's franchises and their yearly updates, they're movie tie-ins are some of the best, and the new IPs look killer.
