Electronic Arts: What Is the Problem?

One word as to why EA is failing - SECUROM 7.

It could have the best games in the business, but if Securom 7 is on it - like all EA games have since last summer (2007) and you get bit by the nasty side of this draconian DRM, you are going to avoid that companies games like a plague.

Myself, I love EA's games. My now grown family loves EA games and have been buying their games and investing in their stocks since the early 90's - then they switched to Sony DADC rootkit-like DRM and damaged my pc. EA's reply is denial, denial, denial. So they are being sued by not one but three different lawsuits due to this Securom 7 and the damage it does to pcs that EA refuses to acknowledge. In fact their CEO had the nerve to call all it's buying, money spending consumer base pirates if they complained. Like we should just dismiss the fact their DRM borks new pcs, and say thank you - may I have another.

No thank you!!! I love your games EA, but don't like you very much and can't stand your DRM. So I'm not about to buy your products - anymore, and I sold your stock - thank goodness back while it was still in the high 40's. Oh and EA, I'm not alone. There are many of us casual gamers following suit.

Simply put, you want us back - drop Securom 7, but rest assured we are not going away - we just aren't buying your products, your stocks, or you BS explanations and excuses. What's more we are many and we tell our many friends.

That Mr. Everiss is what is wrong with EA and erts stock.
