Before it went downhill there was epic EA games like 007 NightFire, Mirror's Edge, EA Sports, etc.

I think after the year 2010 things started to get going downhill with EA.
EA's never been a nice company (they're not the only ones), for example, back when Bethesda started up in the 80s they developed a football game with a code that made it extremly realistic compared to the sports games at the time. EA was so impressed that they bought Bethesda to get the rights for the code. Bethesda, who's economy was quite weak at the time, gladly accepted since they'd recive support from EA. As it turned out, EA took the code and used it to create the series we know as Madden and then abandoned Bethesda, almost killing them completly.
EA has actually admitted that up until recently, it was part of their buisneiss model to destroy competing companies and studios.


I'm not saying that they are fully an "evil" company, there are no such things and EA has done good things. But they have done quite a lot of damage. (RIP Pandemic Studios and others)

And now, EA has decided to never green light Single Player games, what a loss.
