Am I the only one here who has been, and continues to, boycott EA for their viral drain on the game industry?

EA's CFO Blake Jorgenson:
""We are building into all of our games the ability to pay for things along the way; to get to a higher level, to buy a new characters; to buy a truck or gun or whatever it might be," Jorgensen said. "And consumers are enjoying and embracing that way of business.""

EA turns off game servers even for games only a year old.
They have stated they'd prefer a digital download only game industry.
They have stated they'd prefer a game industry that did not allow for used games.
They say they expect pricing to start at $70 for PS4 titles.
They take game franchises and turn them into generic shooters, but support their decision claiming that the game MUST be made for a wider audience or else it won't make enough money. Yet, these same game franchises are already hugely successful. (Dead Space 3 is one of them)
They make fun of COD for having a price that includes all of the map packs, then turn around and do the exact same thing for BF3.

This list goes on and on....
