The biggest, most paying (and one of 4 of the branches of the company) sequels inducing game that EA has is... The Sims! Develloped under a EA banner from start to now.
EA has only 2 sequels per original title on average, considering EA Sims and EA sports, that might be more in the range of one sequel per game on average. Really not that much in the industry. Each studio is pretty much controlled independantly with little managing from the top. And with the number of studios they have, they ought to have a good number of bad games too, it's normal. It's hating for hating, what you are doing, and that's despicable.
Also, this game look gorgeous. Nice job! ^^
And that's fanboyism at his worst. Sims is milk cow EA would have left long ago if they had a chip of originiality (also its not an original since it was made by maxis as an expansion of the Sim genre which is far older than the EA acquisition to this company) . And as for studio independence that's bullshit aswell. EA cancelled a buttload of interesting projects by these so called "independent" studios. Dungeon Keeper 3, Ultima, etc, EA simply pulled the plug out of 'em when it got tired of it. EA is the kind of company that thinks money can buy happiness when it realizes it cannot compete with other companies in therms of originality and product quality. Its like the spoiled rich kid that doesnt get enough attention from its parents, or a like a bored billionaire that possesses a huge collection of rare cars that never uses. The recent agressive commercial strategies in order to acquire TakeTwo are unquestionable evidences of EA's true nature.
I'm not just saying this based on pure hate. EA was a company i respected a lot back in the days since it made of my favorite games for the old Commodore Amiga until it suddenly abandoned all creativeness in order to support crappy sport franchises no one ever cared about and expand to borg-like corporation from then.
I'm trying to close my mouth but I just can't...
