I disagree. If EA's games became significantly and consistently synonomous with 'bug infestation,' it might take a while, but eventually people would stop buying their products to an extent where they would have to significantly downsize and eventually go bk if they kept delivering terrible quality relative to the competition.
In short, big companies can and do fail when they fail to compete. Well, except for big government/corporate hybrids 'too big to fail' I guess…
