If you're arguing capitalism, surely the mantra is "These idiots will buy our game every year we release it. Most of the PC players aren't going to pay for it anyway so let's not bother wasting any time or effort on that version. Those who do buy it and complain, well fuck 'em, stupid bastards bought it anyway".
The notion that computer games companies are somehow honour bound to produce games in line with the expectations of fans is a ridiculous one. If there was any money to be made in making a decent ice skating game for the PC better than EA's effort then you know what? Someone would have done it. That's capitalism for you right there.
EA, no matter what you think of them are very good at making money. They worked out the likely revenue from a decent game and the associated costs, then they estimated the revenue from a second-rate game and worked out those costs. The crap version meant more profit so they went with that.
PC gaming is dead, or at the very least dying. Consoles are significantly cheaper, work first time, don't require further cash outlay to be able to even run the latest games, are now capable of matching performance with most PCs and make more money for the producers as they're harder to pirate. Why don't you quit your complaining and next time you're looking at having to splash another $500 on a graphics card to play the latest game you stole off the internet, waddle down to the shops and buy a 360 instead.
Jam it back in, in the dark.
