Gaming

Admittedly, I'm guilty of buying EA because there have been dry periods in the GameDev pipeline and I was desperate for something new, but I'm okay with it for smaller devs that don't have the budget for the kind of QA that bigger devs do. That said, the fact that some of these games have been in EA for over a decade (putting aside whether or not they're effectively a functional product at this point) is a pretty egregious abuse of the community goodwill, and bigger developers shouldn't be using it at all because it's encouraging the trend of pushing out buggy messes with 60GB day-1 patches that still don't make a game playable.
