Can gamers trust publishers anymore? EA caught being shady again

/Electronic Arts is the Devil rant

Exhibit A:

Last night a friend was giving me another look at "Meh Wars" and to be honest I was more curious how EA was handling the Origin service and billing since they had burned me in the past with 14 overdraft charges so I'm always overly cautious of EA's fine print. It didn't take more than 5 minutes for me to find this little gem. May create an EA account using my personal info???? So yeah EA, when you're subscription numbers are low, you'll just whip up some accounts to appease shareholders. You can speculate as to what I commented to my buddy on more, him being an idiot for buying this crap, or being an idiot for throwing his rights out the window for the sake of a game. Either way, this is just getting nuts what publishers demand of customers so they don't have to pay for proper security or when they need to make up numbers out of the blue. It's shady, illegal in most countries including our own, and I'm disgusted with EA they would even try to put something in there, but not surprised.
