Imagine buying an EA game. Smooth brains only.

    I've had a personal EA boycott going for over 10 year snow. One of the best decisions I've made and I've never regretted it once.

    The only time I "regretted" it was when I bought KOTOR 1 off steam, then I saw the EA credits and I used the refund policy to say "I bought this against my boycott and I didn't know EA was involved".

    I got my money back.

    Never been a big EA fan. .. only titles I've played is the first couple need for speeds. Battlefield, dead space and NCAA football. Before it was discontinued I'd buy it almost every year.

    I purchased the first year it came back but haven't purchased one since.
