>I would burn the hardware and pretend it never existed if EA bought it

I can't help but feel that is the same over-dramatization that people are having with Facebook buying Oculus. People like to think that EA is the devil, but in reality they are a game company and has plenty of resources including very smart people that could assist in bringing Oculus to market at least as well as Facebook.

They also have a terrible track record in utilizing those resources in their given industry, I don't hate EA, I hate how EA does things in regards to their customers and products.

- Origin requirements

- Online requirements

- SimCity debacle

- buggy release after buggy release

- customer support is... turrible

I could go on and on, I don't even buy their stuff anymore, BF3 is and was the last of their games I plan on owning.
