Why do you guys hate EA so much, they are by far the best game company around, almost every sngle big series is made by them. I also found a list of all the games they made, are you guys telling me that not one game on this list is good?

EA makes Mario? Zelda? GT? GTA? Who knew!

 Seriously, EA makes good selling series, many of the games they produce have changed very little over the years. They rarely go out on a limb, and I believe that is why most people are complaining.

They did not make all these games. You can bet that if there is a good game among these EA did not develop it, they published it.

Try playing the Simpsons games, then play Harry Potter on all systems, then play Fifa (after playing Winning Eleven), play 007 Rogue Agent (if you played Goldeneye for N64 you will see how average the sequel is), Medal of Honor (most of them suck hard), Fade to Black (awful sequel to the great flashback), Shaq Fu (the worst fighting game ever according to Screwattack).

They can even ruin great (and average) movies like Godfather, Harry Potter, Catwoman, Batman Beggins, Lord of the Rings. Save for Godfather and BB I dare you to play more than 10 minutes of these games.

It is like they have the Copros touch (the same as Midas touch, but things turn into shit instead), every franchise they buy is screwed forever and get lost into the Gaming Limbo.

Do not take this as a personal attack, I am very determined to prove that EA sucks at making games. They ruined a lot of IP that I enjoyed and even today they keep surprising me - I was expecting Boogie to be an average game at best (6), but they always have to make even worse than expected.
