I think you're really unfair to EA. They screwed up some titles, yes - but people started to just look at the other bad games and ignore the good ones. If they release tons of crap, why do you bother? If you don't like it, don't buy it - I don't see how that hurts anyone.
They also take risks to do something new, which might not reach the mainstream, just think of Spore, Bulletstorm, Mirror's Edge or Alice: Madness returns. And if you want to go back to the 90's, I couldn't get rid of Future Cop LAPD or Dungeon Keeper). If I may include console games, Shadows of the Damned is pretty cool as well.
And I love, what they made of Command & Conquer (except for Tiberian Twilight, but if the next one gets better, I'll forgive them). Furthermore I'd instantly kick my Windows setup out of my hard disk, if I could play Dead Space, NFS:HP (2010), Crysis, Mass Effect, C&C, ... on Linux.
Besides the crappy games they also have amazing games to offer. If you think, every other Publisher was better, which updated Verison of Diablo, Starcraft, Call of Duty, Left 4 Dead, Portal, Assasin's Creed, Far Cry ... would you like to have?
You can blame EA for Origin without any doubt, but if you celebrate Steam at the same time, that would be very hyprocritical (although it's less worse).
