Want to buy spyware? Buy Battlefield 2142

{ Went back 6 pages, apologies if this is a repeat or already been posted.}

EA can't be happy with the $$ they make on a person buying the game itself.
They also want to monitor your internet usage and get more $$ from advertisers who can load up your system with crap if you buy BF2142.

Want to stop this from happening more and nip it in the bud??

Far too many, if not most, people on this Board post just to say something opposed to posting when they have something to say.

I think something was posted about EA games putting stuff on your computer a few months back, sad to know it's still going on though.  Good thing I don't buy new games anymore.

Also theres a program called Lavasoft antispyware that removes stuff like spyware and adware, also if you don't like that one try Counterspy. It does the same thing

Dont care about the game but i signed anyway. This kind of crap does not belong on any game you pay for.


Not that even 100000 signatures does any good. EA will still make a fortune on that game, and the next.
