Well then fuck Valve too for their Steam platform, and Ubisoft for their uPlay platform. In fact fuck all DRM and long live Good Old Games for their no DRM policy.
In case people didn't realize lock boxes were a thing in MMO's well before EA used them, and TF2 was pretty much the first multiplayer game to use them outside of MMO's but that gets a free pass for some reason.
