EA not only destroyed the reputation of one of the most popular PC series, they destroyed what little reputation they had left as well. EA has published a lot of good games in the past, but they have gotten too greedy and that greed has turned off a lot of people. They recently announced that they are going to have microtransactions in every single one of their future titles, that makes it totally obvious that they are planning on releasing every game in an incomplete state. I have no problem with DLC in certain titles if a developer wants to add additional content after the release of the game, but DLC should be something that we view as an extra not a missing part of the game and EA seems to be making it a missing part of the game.
