If we're going down that path, why bother discussing these topics at all? After all, what do we puny mortals know about the almighty corporate behemoths and their business decisions?

To stay on the matter at hand: I think it's much cheaper for EA to port last-gen FIFA to Switch than developing a current-gen title with a The Sims or Star Wars license. It's a low risk move and I can dig that. But as a test-case it really doesn't say much about the receptiveness from the audience to EA titles in general.

There's a difference between questioning a company's business decsions and claiming you know better than they do. I mean lets face it, EA has pourned tens of thousands of dollars, if not more developing their Switch game roll out strategy - looking at the market, looking at EAs own libraries, and analyzing how they can expect each title to sell based on the results of raw data and focus groups, and you... you sat there and thought "I can't imagine FIFA selling better than the Sims on the Switch".

Come on man.

I think I made my point clearly enough. If you're not willing to discuss the actual topic at hand, fine. Publishers are not infallible (EA least of all), and I really don't feel like going into this meta-discussion with you.
