They may not be more damaging than BoA, but they sure are more hated.
I've never thought much of EA, either love or hate, but I did take notice whenever they acquired a well known game company and I knew they had been largely responsible for the DRM and DLC suffering gamers now experience. It's hard to see their business model as anything but opportunistic and injurious to consumers. I don't believe I've ever purchased an EA game--they just don't make the kind of games I enjoy--but I know many here are begrudgingly enthusiastic about their product line (particularly Bioware) and the sense of the situation I'm receiving is that people buying EA games now will only feel enough ire to complain yet not enough to close their wallets.
