Did they? Mass Effect and Dragon Age began under EA, which a lot of people would argue are pretty good.
Also, what does EA do, that's so bad? As far as I know, they're really hands-off, so they don't really meddle in the development, like what we've heard from Bobby Kotick.
That makes GOG untrustworthy as well, I guess, since I have 300 games on there, but never bought one.
