ONLY Activision/EA get away with this shit. Know why? Because millions of people continue to buy their over rated, corporate shit fests every year and smile while doing it, despite "not having fun". They are greedy because we allowed them to be greedy. So no, they don't all get away with this. Because most devs have enough respect for their customers to not even try it. Many great devs out there that make games for the players not just for the shareholders.
