You're saying the new Fifa on PC will run on the old engine and not the new Ignite Enigne because of DRM?? that makes absolutly no sense.. why wouldn't EA bring their own sports engine for their own games with their own origin system on the pc besides being lazy and in for a quick buck? because of DRM??
.. did you skimmed the OP?

Pretty sure EA tried to make Origin the official digital store for W8 and MS refused.

If they didn't own Criterion. I would be happy not to own any of their games. But since they have moved from the Burnout series I don't care for their new games, So guess I wont be buying any EA game from here on.

EA I will forgive you for all your bullshit in the past if you kill Origin.

Literally makes no sense. The consoles are virtually identical to a PC in terms of CPU and GPU architecture. The costs of porting would be virtually nothing.

I suppose EA has abysmal sales on the PC for their sports games.

It must be because the PC player base is too casual!

Only first party titles sell on PC.

wouldn't surprise me if that is the reason 

EA wants to shape gaming by deciding who gets support.

It might have worked, back when they were strong and the economy was good. But now I think they're simply hurting themselves. And that kinda makes me happy.

The day EA goes bankrupt will be a victory for all gamers.

careful, someone gonna pull out the old tin foil hat argument. 

Can't wait till EA goes belly up due to their temper tandrum.
