Only 1 reason needed: More money
Continue to make less then $100 million a quarter as is, or quite possibly make over $950 million over the same period as a publisher/developer like EA currently is?.. Hmmm, tough choice.
You get what you pay for, this really is a $5 DLC.
1st mission is a DEFEND mission
2nd mission is a SCAVENGER HUNT mission
3rd mission is an ATTACK mission (playing opposite of your team from 1st mission, same battle)
Really? I don't like Nintendo and I know Bethesda are some of the most completely incompetent developers currently in the industry, EA is a greedy publisher that needs to die off, period.. 2K however is a great publisher who will be around for a long time under a parent company like Take Two.
Bugthesda has been garbage, nothing to do with Wii-U.
@ darx
Skyrim was basically a BETA when it released & was glitchy as hell on all platforms including PC.
So you're trying to telling me Nintendo, the Japanese company who expects net profits of ¥6 billion ($75.2 million US) for the fiscal year ending March 31 2013 makes more than EA who expects net profits of $950 million (US) over the same period?
EA isn't making more money than Nintendo?

Yeah because having quite a bit more than double the customers buying your games across all consoles would not net Nintendo WAY more money at all <sarcasm>
No ones saying Nintendo ain't making money, but there's a lot more to be made going multiplatform, you're not that smart to assume otherwise.
Everything published by EA, it's just a matter of when.. EA is pushing for $70 games, full of microtransactions & DLC for next-gen consoles.
EA already announced $81 games in the UK, just a matter of time for them to announce $70 games in North America.
I think EA is going for the title of "Worst company in America" for the 3rd year in a row.
Not the first developer, won't be the last.. Don't worry Nintendo, Bethesda is garbage these days anyways.. You won't be missing anything important. ;)

Basically it's the publisher selling the game piece by piece, if the game is free to being with then I'm OK with that, but if it's a full priced game full of microtransactions and DLC like EA plans to do next-gen then no, it's horrible for the industry.
You mean MS negotiated with EA to make it an MS published timed exclusive to begin with, Since EA not MS owns Bioware.. I guess you missed that part.
Again it's still a different situation as Capcom is developing the game and Capcom owns Capcom, not a different publisher.. It will end up the same as Dead Rising 1 did, you may see a sequel on PS4 if you're lucky.
Did you know: Capcom and EA are two very different companies? <The truth said in a sarc...
They don't NEED to, but they would make a lot more money.. Just ask SEGA. ;)
@ Jukins & Biohazard8860
EA owns Bioware, the developer behind Mass Effect.. Different situation.
Fact: When video game popularity went up, violent crimes went down.
Non-gamer and Xbox go hand in hand. LOL
Kincet, TV, Smartglass, more TV, Kincet 2.0, even more TV.. Useless apps!!!!!.. Did I mention it may also possibly play games.. And lets not forget the most important thing about the next Xbox gaming console, you can watch TV connected to the Xbox and it looks WAY better with the power of cloud!!!
Not like it could get worse.. Or could it?
Now you tell me what I most likely have..You're more under educate then first thought, get a clue.
You're the clueless idiot who's got a facebook, myspace & twitter, if not all 3 willing giving personal information away like the under educated troll you are.. I don't have any and never will.
I research everything I buy which is why I didn't by a 360 & only a complete tool like yourself will buy an Xbox187 knowing what we know.
Who said anything about PS4?.. And knowing a company is spying on you and still buying their product is stupidity.
All that schooling just to end up under educated.. That's America for you though.
@ dumbnick
Like I said MS won't admit it but I know several people who didn't get phished or give out there info but got hacked on the 360.. puchases made on FIFA & MADDEN yet they don't own either game.
But, bu...
LIVE is hacked currently, PSN isn't.. Although MS won't admit it so I wouldn't say it's better in that prespective, also the 360 dash board is terrible
Perform better on the 360?.. Oh I see, you live in 2010, your comment is out of date.
Anybody who buys a Xbox187 is saying spy on me & that's under education, on the 360 they did the same thing but didn't know MS was spying.
This was obviously gonna happen..
NHL 93 on SEGA Genesis > NHL 94 on either platform, nevertheless both were the best of NHL games of that era hands down, as Ice Hockey and Blades of Steel were in the NES era.. Although in the NES era there was less competition.
