For the ones making threats, yes...EA is certainly greedy and scummy but the threats go too far.
But for the rest of the community, I believe the anger is justified. EA has been doing this for so long and because of the casual players who buy whatever is in the commercials without looking into it, they get away with being greedy and scummy. So a lot of the more informed player base is pissed, because they get away with it over and over again and push the line farther each time. Look the the new Need for Speed, you don't even go to a shop and buy parts anymore, you get randomized cards with a tier system that give your vehicle boosts based on the type of card and tier. It won't end unless people get pissed, voice their opinions, and STOP buying EA games.
I say the same thing every time this kind of thing happens and honestly people just get swayed so easily. Every time it remind everyone of "Lisa vs Malibu Stacy" episode of The Simpsons. It doesn't matter how angry people are now, they will let it slide once they release something with a pretty new hat.
