EA Agrees to Settlement in Antitrust Suit

Football games were their bottomless pit of money. After screwing over their RPG fans with Mass Effect and DA2 (which I don't get at all. I really liked DA2. Not as good as DA1 but by far not a bad game at all. But, none the less, it's trendy to hate it right now)

Could this be the beginning of the end for EA?

The whole point of releasing a new game with little (its a game about a sport, there's not much you can do to spice it up beyond keeping it accurate to the real thing) change being made to it that can be updated with new players via cheaper DLC makes the whole Release a game at $50 or above every freaking YEAR pointless and unfair to the consumer

The fact is that EA treats the series as a consistent cash cow that required little (if any) investment AND effort in the making of the next game and rehash the same game code from the previous games but with different faces since the sports gamer market aren't as "aware" of how little effort and change was made to the game beyond new faces and a large number are satisfied very easily just knowing that their favorite player is in the next game to be released
