The games that receive 9's and 10's or get labeled as 'Legendary' or 'Platnium One Hit Wonders' are all games with well known lead characters. It's not brain surgery, just a simple, well known formula: Humans associate better with things they know then things they don't know.

game sales say otherwise.
I'm not defending any company...it's a fact
What EA doing is smart business, and no one can blame them of taking advantage of an opportunity like this. EA made their money in the videogame industry...it's not like General Electric decided to just buy out the top 5 game publishers and sit back and watch the money roll in. EA was build by making and selling videogames...so the reason they're as big as they are is a result of GAMERS buying and enjoying their GAMES.
