EA Games, Challenge Everything *OT*

So when they're not busy releasing incomplete and broken games to the public (leaving the public to Beta test them post-launch and then releasing multiple fixes as time goes on), they're busy micro-transactioning all future products. Ah. I've done a fairly decent job for years avoiding anything from EA because of how they do business (with very few exceptions, BioWare being one), but I think I'm just about done with them all together now.
That's all well and good, but they still rank several levels higher than Activision in my book. EA is no angel, but Activision is straight up scum.
