No doubt. I even made up a little rhyming slogan to that "E.A. SPORTS. IT'S IN THE GAME" bit when I was younger. ("E.A. SUCKS. THEY'RE FRICKIN LAME", if you were curious). Still I feel like since I don't buy their products, I don't have a dog in that fight. They just make malicious or slipshod decisions sometimes and it's ok because it has nothing to do with me.

The same can't be said for companies whose actions literally end or ruin large numbers of lives. It's harder to shrug off big banks taking in billions while ruining the working class as a whole and then somehow also making them pay for the damage; I can't just say "I didn't buy a house", because I still feel for the people who did. Let's not even talk about prison companies and military contract companies. Talk about evil...
