When EA Origin (the EA client) became mandated for EA games, I quit purchasing EA games entirely.

No regrets. I avoided the entire lootbox thing.

Now EA is under private equity, which means, I suspect, it'll soon go the way of Toys 'R Us and Radio Shack.

Appropriate, given EA's long standing policy of buying up development companies and gutting them.
