EA brugte som bekendt masser af penge på at lave et nyt SSX, samt på at lade Starbreeze genstarte Syndicate, men specielt sidstnævnte blev ingen stor salgssucces. Det afskrækker dog ikke firmaet fra at lave efterfølgere til ældre titler hvis man skal tro på firmaets Frank Gibeau:
"Syndicate was something that we took a risk on. It didn't pay off - it didn't work. But in general it doesn't change my appetite for wanting to go look in the library and see what we have and maybe bring back some IPs for the next-generation. That's the nature of the business; some stuff works, some stuff doesn't", fortæller Gibeau i et interview med CVG.
Om SSX havde Gibeau følgende at sige:
"I think SSX was a very successful launch for us and there was some online innovation there that really showed why it made sense to bring that back. It's done well and you'll probably see more in the future."
