You sound like a broken record. Try, please to understand this: the 
decision to release an episodic game via the Internet was NOT an excuse. 
It was PLANNED that way from the beginning. There is no indication 
whatsover that Origin was in financial difficulty. The simple fact is 
that the space combat genre was no longer as viable as it had been, so 
Origin decided to try something different.

"Properly" is subjective in this case.
