1. Releasing boatloads of DLC people didn't want.

2. Poor support. Allergic to patching games when compared to other developers.

3. Beatles game. They really thought this was their demographic? They lost more players than they gained because of it. Add the licensing costs to the injury. Ouch.

4. RB3. Focusing on expensive niche pro modes while removing gameplay staples. Lots of small illogical changes. Buggy, glitchy and devoid of the personality of previous titles.

Let's not forget that all new DLC moving forward can only be sold to RB3 owners. What a mess.
