If Valve had shareholders it would be a very different company.
Who cares? The EA shareholders can go forget themselves for the impact they have on the consumer. If EA decides they want to get every last penny out of the customers in order to appease the shareholders, then the customers have a right to complain. The customers
should complain. If the customer pays 60 dollars for a game then cannot play it because EA chose to favor the shareholders via DRM at the expense of the customers, that customer should complain. If that customer is instead saying "Well, the entertainment I paid for is an acceptable loss as long as those shareholders are getting their money," they are loving mental and should not be trusted with the spending of money.
