Look at Valves Halflife...... It wasnt even released with
Multiplayer. But, the addon of Multiplayer, then mods, etc sold FAR
more games than the initial single player release.

Multiplayer extends the sales life of a game.

My guess is that EA is simply saying to themselves 'this game pretty
much sucks. Why should we continue to dedicate staff and resources
when its not going to get any better? Lets cut bait and focus on the
next project'. Its bad PR, but good business.
