There's an article actually that i've read not quite sure what magazine, they where talking about how making games is like making movies nowadays and they were saying that to make a very good game it takes about 3 years. One good example is the sports franchises they come out yearly and most of them especially madden sucks EA is pretty much just brings out a game then they just add patches to fix bugs that should have been detected during the beta phase of the game. So for EA to be able to bring out a new madden game every year what they do is bring out a beta madden to the public make them pay and use them as their beta testers and just bring out patches.
