Now, imagine a nice, shiny Taco Bell. You enjoy coming to Taco Bell often to partake in much delicious taco goodness. Today you're planning to buy two supreme tacos and a double-decker with the delicious fake cheese slathered on. You enter the Taco Bell and approach the counter, trying to ignore the sticky mass of.. something.. that you step in on the way to the counter.
A dead-eyed, borderline psychotic looking Taco Bell employee grunts at you from behind the counter, indicating that you are to order now. You order your usual, and in a mere two minutes the award winning Taco Bell staff prepares you a fine meal. You take your lunch to a nearby table and pause for a moment to inhale the fumes of delicious taco aroma that waft out of the bag.
You open the bag, and to your horror there are no tacos in the bag at all! No burritos, no gorditas, not even an enchirito! Instead, there is a mass of tortillas forced rather awkwardly into the shape of a hamburger bun, topped with a slab of taco meat shaped roughly like a hamburger patty and two gallons of fire sauce.
Confused, you stroll back over to the register and point out to the dead-eyed potential serial killer who takes orders that this isn't even remotely close to what you wanted. The dead-eyed employee stares back, confused, and fetches the manager.
The manager approaches, nose in the air.
"Is there a problem with your order, sir/madam?" Asks the manager in a tone that suggests that he would much rather be off watching Two and a Half Men reruns in his 'back office' (an out-of-order bathroom stall) than dealing with an unreasonable customer.
"Er.. yes, just a small one." You timidly reply. "You see, I ordered tacos."
"Yes? And?" Says the manager, motioning to the taco-burger hybrid monstrosity on the counter.
"Well, that's not a taco." You say. "And it has two gallons of fire sauce on it. I mean, I like fire sauce, but too much is too much."
"Fire sauce is -AWESOME-! So more of it equals -MORE- awesome!" The manager exclaims, then continues, "We're trying to broaden our appeal by making a meal that both burger -and- taco lovers can enjoy." The manager grumbles. "That bastard Ronald McDonald boasts trillions and trillions of burgers served, we want in on that burger action!"
"But you're.. Taco Bell." You reply in a confused voice. "You sell tacos."
"You just hate change." The manager says, crossing his arms and huffing angrily. "If tacos are going to survive as a fast food, we need to evolve out of this narrow-minded anti-burger mentality. Making pure tacos these days is just a recipe to go bankrupt. Do you know what it costs to make a taco these days?!"
"But.." You reply, brain aching. "..McDonald's isn't the -only- burger chain. It's just the largest. Burger places are a dime-a-dozen, and the competition is steep. Why not stick to what you do well?"
The manager continues to stare blankly.
There is a long pause. After a moment of reflection, you facepalm.
"Can I just get a refund, please?" You ask in an exhausted tone.
"No." Says the manager. "But I'll be sure to send the higher-ups your feedback and let them know you don't approve of the changes."
TL;DR version: Bioware changing from what they do best to get the Call of Duty fanbase is a bit like Taco Bell making bad tacoburgers to get the McDonald's fanbase. Taco Bell does fine making tacos, and if they want to make a taco burger they should take their time and make a good one. Or else they risk losing their taco-loving fanbase.
