Has anybody ever heard of the business cycle? Well if you have them im sure you'd be able to undestnd what I'm talking about, its called the EA Cycle. It applies mostly to cnc fans and its happening again! Here it is:
EA announces a new cnc game, they hype it up; they exagerate everything and ignore tough questions
||
||
V
Cnc fans (most of them) get over excited and overlook reality and the past; only positive reviews are released
||
||
V
On release day the game gets extremely high ratings and everybody who brought it loves it.
||
||
V
For about 1 week the fans are 100% happy, EA makes lame excuses for the flaws pointed out by the realistic community members
||
||
V
After at least 3 months fans realize the crapyness of the game but EA releases 1 patch and lame excuses, nobody reads the change logs
and the feel all is well and dandy. But the wise ones are on to them. They may also release gimics to distract people from the main issues.
||
||
V
Finally the game is bad again because people realaize that some of the changes were done half asses and not thought-out
||

EA is in a panic the fans are angry and not taking their crap, to distract fans the announce the release of a new game and Apoc Bs's some more to satisfy
the people; the cycle repeats.
