I assume they figure with how cheap they can produce, they'll still turn a profit. How long they can keep doing it before people stop showing up is another matter. EA sells the same sports game every year, just with an updated rosters and people still buy them.
That profitability is based on the artificially low cost of the tools being used. Even the highest level of paid account is losing these companies money.
Sometimes EA forgets to update years in the game assets.
