This sums up my feeling. I've been boycotting EA for years. The biggest reason for this is simply that I refuse to buy a game through Origin. It really pisses me off that the only way to buy or play some of their games is through Origin. If I could buy and play some of their games without going through Origin, I probably would have given up my boycott by now. As it is, my game backlog is big enough that I already have more games to play than I have time to play them without EAs games.
