I don't understand these boycotts. Why would anyone boycott EA to have their games on their console?

Well, it is impossible for me to boycott EA. I looked at my games, and I have not a single game from EA. I have Ubisoft, THQ, Capcom, Namco, Square, Atlus - but no EA. I'm completely uninterested in the games they offer. I think that it is somehow surprising, seeing how much games I own and that I don't care who releases them. But EA only caters to all these casuals who wanna play football (yes, for americans it's soccer) at home, instead on the field with friends.

So...you've never played Dragon Age, Dead Space, Mass Effect or Battlefield at least? EA might have an iron fist but have the list of franchises to back it up.

I really don't care for Dead Space, Mass Effect or Battlefield (thinking that DICE made the best flipper-simulations before EA bought them ...). Dragon Age is somewhat interesting, but I feel it gone too far from the Baldur's Gate recipe. It's a pity, that Black Isle is no more.
So, don't get me wrong. I don't boycott EA or anything. It's simply their offerings have nothing for me. If they release a game I'm interested in, I would certainly buy it. But it doesn't look, as if EA wants to develop in that direction.
