If you work for EA, my deepest sympathies.
I understand there is a world of difference between MANAGEMENT/OWNERS and the people writing code and making games. Very different groups, and the people putting the hours in meeting deadlines are not the people we dislike.
That being said, EA is generally responsible for the lion's share of the WORST trends in gaming over the last decade or two, from DLC, to yearly FPS 'sequels', to yearly sports game 'sequels'.
Making less product for more money, and charging you extra money for things that traditionally were always part of original games.
