I read somewhere that something like 60-70% (forget the actual number) of EAs games are reissues of old games - expansion packs, new season of sports, etc. That is fairly significnt revenues off minor reworkings. Sounds rather smart businesswise to me. Unfortunately, it didnt produce the best spearhead for us. Just for comparison, Q3 just released yet another patch years after its release.
