I still don't understand: Why pull the plug on the game now?

After learning about the discontinuation of support for BFN, I was upset. But what I am confused about, is why did EA decide to stop the game now. Is it a coincidence or irony that the game is stoppe...

@Shadowphinx101 Honestly bfn failed at marketing leading to poor sales and I know for a fact outside of the general community it was hated for changing things that didnt need changing, heck most people who arent even hardcore fans were like: well I liked gw1 or even gw2 but with bfn most despise the series now.

To me Bfn feels like a poor overwatch in the press button to win mentality coupled with honestly really poor map design that does not at all accomodate its class philosophy.

    @stukapooka Yes but the marketing part is EA's fault for not providing enough funding and doing stuff to market it. After all, EA also functions as publisher. And now EA decided to pull the plug, although it was their own fault.
    How was PopCap supposed to make this work with a reduced team size and no marketing?
