Does EA really understand the MMOG market?

After keeping the godawful UO up for 6(?) years now and killing the possibly redeeming UO2 before it even got out of it's shell, they have decided to turf Earth and Beyond.

I'll concede that EnB wasn't an excellent game and was also aimed at a niche of a niche market but it's still a lot better than some other offerings out there.

Seems to me like EA is in the business of killing good dev studios.
