Ea is bio. There's no getting around that. And, bio was not a mess until the owners left. You ate talking about a company who once told a publisher to get bent, took their game, went to a different publisher, and the old publisher could do nothing but whine, trash talk, and make up lies they couldn't back up before all but folding.
The demise was slow but ea has turned bio into a soulless part of ea with little connection to old bio.
