    The fry company is blaming the meal deals because they come with a small fry instead of a giant one lol

        at least in europe, potatoes aren't nearly as cheap as they used to be as the changing climate has led to a couple of terrible harvests in a row

        idk if it's the same in the usa though

        If this is what I think it is, and it really might be, they probably had a predicted profit they didn't meet and considered it a failure (similar to how dead space 2 was a financial success but didn't meet the predicted profit and so was deemed a failure and why dead space 3 was made to appeal to a broader audience).

          Yeah, I remember EA saying that if Dead Space 3 didn't sell 10,000,000 copies then it would be considered a failure

          Which, only shit like Call of Duty or Grand Theft Auto sells like that
