I've never heard more about what a studio can't do rather than what they can and it's frankly embarrassing for everyone involved. I realize the bosses at the helm are trying to make as much money as possible. I realize that EA is a corporation whose sole dedication is to it's stock holders. I understand. What I don't understand is how the devs claim to be serious artists and designers and yet allow themselves to be overlorded by suits. Or even how they, the devs, continue the practice of turning in such sub-par work. If more devs dedicated themselves to the integrity of their art/designs, then we would not be in the situation we're in. EA doesn't make games unless there are devs to design them. It might be worth something for the devs of TS4 to remind EA of that instead of defending and aiding the monstrosity this franchise is becoming.
