I don't know, this just doesn't seem right. You shell out all this money for a game and they just drop it like nothing. I mean don't get me wrong, I can understand regular maintenance, but come on they are already dropping support for their '06 franchises? I mean not every person wants to go out and buy the same game year after year. Many people just wait for the games to get a little more innovative and then buy. I mean is there really that many new features in Madden '08 than there is in '06? Heck, they even have some '07 titles thrown in there. Does EA really believe their games are really that disposable?
