The showdown of the day! Who is worse? EA, or Activision. Or some other company, vote!

At this point, irritating business practise seems to be industry-wide. Dont get me wrong, I get that production costs have ballooned without too much of that increase being directly handed to the consumer, and for that I am grateful. I also understand that the current experiments with drip-dropping content into a game (see Elite Dangerous and Anthem) is a fairly logical response to tight deadlines causing nasty launch issues. However I think there are ongoing errors of judgement with what is an acceptable amount of content to launch with and how to monetise games without making it feel obnoxious *side-eyes Bethesda* and that all does leave a sour taste in the mouth.
