![]() Right now Origin is in the phase where they know it’s being hurt by their bad image. ![]() Things get bad image-wise and someone manages to convince them it hurts sales, so they clean up their act a little, enjoy some success, but then that success is immediately followed by an attempt at optimisation. I try to avoid just mindlessly bashing them, but over the years I’ve learned that EA’s attitude moves in cycles. Often they’ll tie it to their fan favourite series to minimise the risk. If a move is anti-consumer but makes more money, or even just potentially makes more money, EA are very open to experimenting with it. Because they’re a publicly traded company that has to constantly show growth they tend to try and make more money regardless of whether the product is already financially successful. I dunno, there are plenty of cases of EA ruining a good thing. If gamers rewarded good business practices as well as they rewarded native ones then we’d keep seeing risky, fun, complete games from them. They’re a publicly traded company chasing the money.
