Oh god that so called FREE game.

PvZ2, updates used to be good after dark ages part 2, until modern day shown up.
There were way too many paid premium plants as of today, they could have them also cost gems.

Go Madden.

Titanfall 2, it is a great game but it seemed like EA intentionally fucked it over.
>>
>>381947942
Yeah but thats less greed more spite
>>
Did EA ruin Mass Effect?
>>
Literally all of them
>>
>>381947685

Dead Space 3 and F3AR were both disasters that were incredible to behold

>>381947942
I wonder what they did to piss off EA so much
>>
Mass Effect
Need for Speed
Dead Space
Mirror's Edge
Battlefield (yeah 1 was cool, though)
Red Alert
Battlefront
SimCity
Dragon Age
Dungeon Keeper
Ultima
Command & Conquer
Medal of Honor

All of them, basically.

Such a long list. Good work EA

>>381946673
Command and Conquer series and Red Alert.

Well there is three theories as to why they did it.

First theory is that they are pissed at Respawn for being adamant about not doing paid dlc such as maps, weapons and titans and instead only having cosmetic dlc.

Second theory is that EA is intentionally fucking over Respawn in hopes the studio will fail and they can absorb them.

Third theory is they wanted Titanfall to be the cod killer, Battlefield 1 would be for the people who love old styled weapons and titanfall would be for people who loved futuristic stuff.

Those three theories are motivated by greed.

There's more. Those are the ones I remembered off the top of my head.

EA ruined Bioware

Battlefront will always be the worst of EA's killings

Second actually seems likely. Both EA and Microsoft have a long history of using that tactic.
>>
>>381949398
So is there a chance Respawn can still come out on top? They are a great studio. Itd be shit if they went under.
>>
>>381946673
Titanfall 2

Game isn't bad but EA's been throwing Respawn under the bus for a while now, trying to back them into a corner so they can buy them out.
>>
Respawn will get the same fate as Bioware

They're eaten so many companies, there's a wikipedia page for it

Eh wont matter too much. Unlike Bioware which had like 3 or 4 actual devs, Respawn is full of competent devs. Theyd just reopen under a new name.

The way it usually happens is those devs get scattered to the winds in a bunch of different endeavors. Not often they just all move on together.

DICE is the only company EA has not ruined.

Mass Effect was mostly ruined by Bioware.

EA is only at fault for not giving Bioware enough time to polish ME3.
