EA Says They Didn't Force Microsoft To Make Xbox One Anti-Consumer

As the guy who is the chief operating officer of Electronic Arts I can tell you that EA did not aggressively lobby for the platform holders to put some gating function in there to allow or disallow used games, 

I am on record as being a proponent of used games. I like the ecosystem. I like the fact that it's kept pricing at a good level for eight years. I like the fact that someone can buy a physical game and see some equity in that game. That keeps GameStop vibrant and they are a great launch and marketing partner for us. 

EA has never had a conversation, and I have been present at all of them, with all of the manufacturers, saying you must put a system in place that allows us to take a piece of the action or even stop it. Absolutely incorrect.Peter Moore

EA are no doubt rubbing their hands at the prospect of taking advantage of drm on Xbox games. The fact they can stand by and let MS take the blame is just the icing on the cake.cakeorrdeath

Lol yeah, the DRM was the reason EA took away online passes i think haha
