Has EA killed PC gaming?

Gameplayer report's: EA has been up to a few dirty tricks in recent years as it looks to regain its place at the top of the gaming food chain, and we can't say they've gone down to well with consumers. From buying cheats in Tiger Woods, to holding back weapons in Battlefield: Bad Company as DLC through to the particularly ugly feature of purchasing car modifications in Need for Speed: ProStreet with real money, it has been almost a constant probing at the ethical guidelines surrounding our beloved industry. The latest game to be used on the frontline of bad taste is Mass Effect on PC.

For the uninitiated, in an effort to curb the rather worrying levels of piracy found in the PC sector, EA have instituted some draconian-like measures to bring in the coin.
