I think it's "Fool me once, shame on you; fool me twice, shame on me."......not "Fool me once, and I'll start checking reviews." Pretty sure people are tired of giving EA second chances every year for decades. And if they're not, more power to them, but I've seen the game decay over decades of technological advancements.
Besides, it's not like the 2000's when we owned the game we bought. Now with everything online, EA is free to jack and screw everything the way they see fit, no guarantees it will even be the same game. People get banned from the game they paid for? No, thank you.
