It annoys me when people complain about something and then keep doing it (like buying EA games). The solution is really simple: stop buying/playing their games. It's not like they are a monopoly you are forced to give money to.

There’s a ton of indie games out there willing to give players what the AAA’s aren’t, but the discoverability problem is such that most can’t be bothered to sift through the pile to find the gems, so they just go with whatever games everyone else is playing, which is usually whatever has the biggest advertising budget. It’s a frustrating problem.

It's not just the discovery problem; for a multiplayer game like Battlefront, there's value in the concentration of players. You want to have full servers, friends that also play it, etc.

As a W:ET fan that still occasionally fires up the game, I can tell you that it's no fun seeing a desolate server list, filled only with bots.
