Look at kingdom of amalur, it looks like a great rpg. Its published by EA.

That's because EA doesn't own BHG like they do with DICE and Bioware. EA has more power in that situation.

Don't think EA is entirely innocent. Remember the Ultima series. From games 1-6 it was a great story; however, when EA bought Origin Systems, the series pretty much went downhill until it faded into obscurity with Ultima 9 :cryvaultboy: :cryvaultboy:

EA destroys everything it touches. The powers that be at Bioware never should have merged with the Borg of gaming companies. They were far better off without them.

Is it wrong if you think both EA and Bioware should be held responsible for churning out crappy games?

The blame lies on EA only. Just look at their track record of game companies they bought, and the games from those companies. Command & Conquer was an excellent game series from Westwood. Then EA bought them out. Every C&C game released since then has been nothing but dung. The same is happening to Bioware. The only reason Dragon Age was any good is because that game was being worked on prior to the merger.
