There is a fair bit of research suggesting that the threshold for profitability on a quick port is quite low. Now, EA hasn't been hitting their targets, but they certainly could with a second round of Wii U software if they had shown that they at all gave a damn about Wii U owners with the first. And with a userbase cultivated, they could then have at least an easy port-box for the next five years.

Instead, due to their severe butthurt, they cripple themselves.

Again, how many hours did you spend to research whether a specific game would be profitable porting over?

 

And let's say you did all the research to determine if it would be profitable to port over the game to the WiiU. You still have no proof that they did their own research and came to a different conclusion.

 

People shouldn't assume that EA is a human that acts out of emotion like them. EA is an organization that works to make money for its shareholders. And given the state EA is in right now, management has its balls in the shareholder's hands. They're not going to pass up an easy buck just because it doesn't like the WiiU.

 

EA isn't a fucking fanboy. It's a company.

EA has a long history of fanboyism, although you seem determined to disregard it for some reason.

Just because some people might have a fanboy mentality, doesn't mean EA shares that mentality. It's a company. It's not one person. Management has changed over history.

 

Stop treating EA like some random manchild on the internet.
