Bravo EA.
Even if the threatened boycott lacked any real teeth, as others have said these people probably weren't buying many games to begin with, I'm glad they stood up to this.
And honestly, even if this was another publicity stunt (and I don't believe it is) I'd be impressed with them going on record like this.
Now go make Origin a better platform and release a fantastic sequel to Mirror's Edge. Scoot scoot.

Question. How is being against homosexuality moral in any way? No one is harmed. No one is effected in an ill way,ever in these relationships if they're genuine. The anti-homosexuality people have no moral ground to stand on. Family values shouldn't be about discriminating people based on their sexual preference. Family values should be built on respect,tolerance,,goodwill,and greatest of all,neutrality.
I see these anti-homosexual activists as blind,deaf,and bigoted individuals who are incapable of seeing how people can be happy following a different lifestyle. That's what it boils down to. "They're different. Therefore,they're wrong,amoral,or outright evil." This is coming from an asexual white left-handed guy.
So,I pose a question to you who hold an anti-homosexual stance,and seek to have other people adopt your stance: Why,exactly,do you feel that way,and why do you think it so important to have other people see your way?

Well, he doesn't have to engange anyone in a relationship in any of the games.superbowlbound said:
Gay people exist. Deal with it.
Honestly I'm sick of the waves of bigotry any medium receives for daring to suggest it is perfectly alright to have relations with someone of your own sex.

Why are you boycotting all the products sold in the other galaxies?Audacity said:

Boycotting isn't just not buying the product. A boycott is an act of voluntarily abstaining from using, buying or dealing with a person, organization or country as an expression of protest. If you never had the intention, desire or ability of buying the product, any type of said product or any variation of the said product, then you aren't really boycotting it. And saying you are is meaningless. The only way to give the meaningless boycott any weight is to influence those who would be in the market for the product to not purchase said product.
To put it simply, Florida Family Association isn't EA's target market to begin with, nor were those who they got to "boycott". Likewise by being a gamer, you are part of CoD's target market so when you boycott it, it is boycotting.
Oh society, how you continue to boggle my mind.
You'd never guess it was the 21st century sometimes with people who are still stuck in the 50's.

I really wish these fuckers would stop masquerading as "family values". I'm a part of family, and small-minded hatred is not one of our values. It's not a value of any family I know.
You would be amazed what some people still think in 2012. I'm talking 0 A.D. shit that's still hanging around the southern U.S.Azex said:
Remember the ridiculous Orson Scott Card boycott campaign?
How is it that equal and opposite actions receive equal and opposite reactions? Everyone who loved the boycotts (people expressing their displeasure with a company's association and inferred views) apparently hates the emails (dem horribul conservatives, durr). Just a thought.

I consider moving out of the country if some of these ideas I hear about make progress up to where I live... It's... jeez. Why can't everyone be kind and logical when dealing with other people?ccdohl said:
Indeed, for once in my life I'm siding with EA.SAT4NSLILHELPER said:
I don't understand this whole "gay's are corrupting our kids" thing. What are they doing to corrupt them, going outside the norm? Yeah that's a good message to kids "always do what you're told and never ever question the status quo." What kind of tyranical Sci-fi movie are we living it?!
