EA has made many bad mistakes...this is just another one. Some of us remember when EA started sharing our personal information and afterward sent every registered EA user an agreement to sign saying that we wanted to allow them to give out our personal information. This is one more reason that Studios and Publishers need to be completely separate. EA is full of marketing and sales personnel who are trying to run it like a cost/demand business.

The truth is that it really doesn't matter whether it's Single Player or Multiplayer...the only reason a game gets sold and played more than others is because it's fun. If a game was made so that 100 players could deathmatch and play CTF, Capture Point, or other types of games online, but just in square boxes then it would not sell as well as a game that was just single player but with extravagantly decorated environments...the environment needs to be rich and entertaining...there needs to be a story of some sort...a reason for the battles...otherwise it will decay as the newness wears out and another game comes out with a different colored box to battle in or with slightly different weapons.

When will companies, not just game companies, realize that the sales and marketing people lack creativity and inspiration and should not be driving any form of product. Let the developers and studios create the products...then it's the sales and marketing job to sell it...that's the way it works best.
