The general consensus is that EA and Ubisoft are crappy game companies.

In EA's case, when they bought Bioware, Bioware's games dropped in quality - Dragon Age 2 was panned, and Mass Effect 3's ending is one of the most drama-filled moments in gaming history.

Ubisoft just has a penchant for releasing the same kind of game over and over again with slight changes. There's like, what, 15 Assassin's Creed games now? They also make games with the intent of making them franchises. Which, you know, that's fine, it's a business. But people don't like that.

Hopefully Microsoft makes Minecraft mods work better.
