User blog comment:Lancer1289/Why do People Hate EA/@comment-118213-20120619233242

It's curious how hatred and resentment is lodged at many multinational corporations that our lifestyle relies on. Companies from Starbucks, Wallmart and Vodafone all the way to oil companies and banking corporations (the latter to having a very poor public image) are highly criticised and blamed for providing the services we would be lost without. It's because they're expansive and perceived as wealthy and out of touch.

This is not too dissimilar with EA; If you take BioWare's Star Wars: The Old Republic, an amazing game with a massive budget, a budget that was bankrolled by EA. Of course EA are out there to make money, but as they say you've spend money to make money, and the quality of some games benifits with the money that EA can spend on them.
