Whatever there, tough guy. You just keep going in circles.
Edit: I also don't really find the MP to be a 'cynical cash grab'. We get all the DLC for free, we have the option to pay money for packs if we are so inclined, but are in no way required to. They need to make money some way, it is a business after all.
Hahhahaaaaa, let's talk about the concept of "loss leader" and just how much it costs Bioware to trickle out a few new character/gun models and maybe a map whenever MP player/revenue numbers dip to a certain level corporate has defined. There Ain't No Such Thing As A Free Lunch. You might want to google that phrase.
Did you pay for the game? They already made money. "But they have to run the servers..." Only because they made the MP require the servers to run (and the SP requires the servers for your criminal background check, I mean, DRM that only punishes people who didn't crack the game) because of the store that generates MORE money for EA. Multiplayer games don't require companies to maintain servers for them... or at least they don't when companies aren't trying to make extra money from them.
So yeah, releasing an unfinished MP that was originally meant to be an entirely separate game and tying it to a server requirement to enable a store pretty objectively qualifies it as a cynical cash grab. You know, like the day one DLC. EA didn't win that worst company in America award for nothing you know.
