I think it was something to do with sharing games and making sure you weren't sharing them offline or something.

that's because they've already made their money from those, and they wanted some good PR for once
I'm sorry for having opinions that a lot of people have, would you like to hop off the breathing bandwagon? Didn't think so. (bit of an extreme comparison but seriously, just because I have the views that a lot of other people have doesn't mean they're wrong)

You are still neglecting PC which is a massive market, one most likely larger than PS or Xbox. Also I thought EA was the "money mongering corporation", I don't see why they'd just get rid of online passes from existing games if they want more money. You also realize they have a new CEO? Lately things have been taking a massively positive step forward for EA.

I extremely doubt the PC market for EA games is anywhere as near as big as the EA market for Xbox games just based on the sports games alone.

Like I said - they want good PR and they knew they wouldn't lose TO much from doing this.

In some ways yes, I still feel they should be punished a bit more for screwing people over in the past before though.

Wait a minute. If people are protesting that they can't share games on the console, but are totally fine with Steam and Origin on the pc. Speaking of the pc, companies need to bring an end to the idea of porting games with consoles specs to the pc. Hell ID Software forgeted up with RAGE, and they made the first First Person Shooter Doom/castlewolftenstein which was exclusive for the PC when it first came out.
