Quote: Electronic Arts has a new policy in its forums: misbehave and violate the publisher's terms of service, and not only will you be banned from the forums, but you'll find yourself unable to play any of your EA games, too. The news came today when a community manager posted information regarding the new version of EA's website and forums, which is set to launch next week.

I deliberately put this here in GD instead of GGD so that more people might see this.
You've paid your hard earned money for the game... and now they'll lock you out of the game if you "misbehave" in/on their forums?
Like the end of the article says... what if you leave negative feedback? Will they disable your account (which in turn will also disable all the games you've bought from EA)?
I think EA is gettin too big for their britches. Much as I think I'd like to play Spore, I don't think I want to deal with EA's uppity attitude. So at this point I will not support them, EA, and will not buy any of their products.
