EA is in desperate times, as I posted in another thread, they are on damage control big time in their forums. They are deleting without notice any posts which are not positive towards their games.

So what they are saying by the actions they take against legitimate customers is that its better to pirate an EA game and not be screwed than buy it?

I can't really blame EA I'm sure they'll be just as happy to take its potential customers to court and sue them for more than the pirated products value. I mean Valve and the steaming shit service have gone into preventing to buyers from selling on games they no longer want. Bypassing consumer rights while still overcharging and ripping off people directly and indirectly through country exchange rates.

fucking greedy manipulative scumbags really. Game developers and publishers need to get grip on there reckless counter moves which have only been brought on by their own arrogance and ignoring customers in the market in the first place.
