As a UFC fan that is the funniest shit I have seen in a long time. It sounds so much like Rogan and Goldberg. I want the Wii U version. Fuck the serious version.

That is the point, not missing the games and not supporting the publisher, I had never like them too much, but after the last 2 years I started to dislike them, and now you can even say that I hate them. I bring games to my fellow gamers of my country at good prices (very good compared to the official ones), but I don't offer any game of EA anymore.
It's hard because I don't really appreciate EA but I like Mass Effect and Dead Space...
Though, to be fair, I liked Mass Effect more when BioWare was not associated with EA...
Have a nice day...

You also do not support the developer that spent a lot of hours bringing you a game thats going to give you a lot of enjoyment.

There you are partially mistaken, usually the developer gets paid in advance and usually a fixed amount, independant of the sales of the game and but they have some bonuses if the game gets a certain score in metacritic and certain amount of sales above a number defined on each contract. That is how a game publisher deals with the developers they take all the financial risk, and the developer gets additional work if the results were good or never get called if the results were bad.
I am ok, with not supporting the developer if they work for EA, they are either own by them, or got more money from them in advance, so is fine with me not supporting them.

If they internal studios they probably just get a fixed wage without bonuses. If they sell liek shit EA destroys that studio. Somtimes if they sell good EA destroys that studio too lol.
I just think publishers should take some responsibility and delay games if they require to get it right. i.e. Ubisoft did that with watch dogs, although not perfect they delayed it to get it presentable witthout damaging the game too much.

You are correct that these are the type of ways developers get paid and each one depends on the game actually selling. If you are good with not supporting a developer who works for EA then you probably should be good not purchasing the game period. No matter how you spin it, you are only looking out for your own selfish priorities and adding some excuse to do what you want.
We really do not need to go further on this topic. I had typed a whole case study on the point but in reality it really doe not matter.
I'm pretty sure the last one I bought was Tiger Woods PGA Tour 10. I am surprised that EA is still as big as they are. I understand that they have a monopoly on the NFL and FIFA, so people are stuck buying those games. But with all the other anti-consumer crap they pull, you would think people would have slowed down on buying their games. Then again, most people are uninformed or just don't care.
