These days, games are or have already become like the music industry. Publishers/record labels keep cranking out the same cookie-cutter, regurgitated, mundane crap because the majority of gamers keep buying it. The problem with companies like EA is that if people keep buying their stuff, they'll keep making it. The difference with music is that you don't buy a CD and then have to wait for five or six updates just to get it to run on what is supposed to be a state-of-the-art stereo. But the point is, if you keep buying it, they'll keep making it. If people had said "I'm not buying Battlefield Vietnam until it actually runs properly!" and did that several times, they'd wake up. But everyone ran out and bought it right away and now they bitch about it.
