I thought this happened a long time ago.. after they bought out the NFL lisence so Take Two couldn't compete with them in football games

It was really funny when EA started licking its lips at Ubisoft and the freaking french government funded the company to keep EA away. I've never been a big fan of EA but they have their claws dug in everywhere these days. So I refuse to enjoy anything of theirs at full price if I even bother playing anything of theirs at all. They're not getting my money. If I pay for anything they developed or published, its used every time. Screw them
