Yeah, it's a tough call. As an executive, if you have a chance to put your cash cow in cruise control, you do it. From a business standpoint, I wonder just how profitable the exclusive deal is. Eventually, EA will need to get some people up top who care about the industry and the products they make. Imagine being a Lead Designer for one of these games and trying to secure a budget, and you're constantly being capped. So you make the game with the limited resources you have. Then the gamers turn around and call you names, send you death threats on Twitter, and otherwise trash your year of work.

That'd give me enough reason to move on from the franchise, if you catch my drift.
