EA really did screw up a lot of franchises around that time period. I was just watching some retrospectives about Dead Space, and the pattern plays out time and time again with pretty much ever big series they bought. It seems like EA's MO in the early 2010s was to buy the rights to a successful game, strip the stuff that makes it unique, add some more cover shooting, multiplayer, and boobs, spend $100mil on advertising, then close the studio when they didn't get a return.
