What Gamers' don't seem to understand is that EA is a company. Their entire job is to make money for their shareholders. Unhappy shareholders leads to less funding, which leads to more canceled projects, and more aggressive monetization to compensate. I personally do not view this as a problem of the Publisher. It's a problem of the shareholder. If you need proof, look to how Activision's Shareholders reacted to Black Ops 4's sales. They said the game underperformed, despite having very strong sales right out of the gate. In order to compensate, I believe Activision was forced into monetizing the game far more aggressively. I could be wrong, but after their last few CoD titles with little Shareholder criticism, I don't think I'm too far off the mark. Quote Link to comment
