So who still supports EA games?

I support games, not publishers. Mass Effect for example was a great game, so I bought it and had a ton of fun.

Some people need to get over themselves...

Agree with the concept that you sould support the developers. Problem is EA funds the devs and each year to me gets worst and worst and pushes their devs to cut corners, probably pay them shit too and their games suffer. 

Actually I just read an article on IGN (I think) that talked about how it is a norm in the industry for studios to layoff people when a game ships and then rehire them when it is crunch time.  The thing is the source said EA tried harder than most people to give out good severance packages and find them new jobs., and that they payed higher than average.

Now don't get me wrong, I am not some kind of EA fanboy...If that is even a thing.  In fact I suspect BF4's buggy console versions are a result of not being given enough time by EA to polish the game.  But there is no need to hate them for it because sales suffered and EA learned their lesson.
