I think the days when EA/DICE are forthcoming with what's going on are long gone. I agree only government intervention will correct this bad behavior. But the gaming corporations have lots of power, so I don't see this happening.

@sk1lldI wouldn't say gaming corps have too much power. As with Apple example, a company worth mind bending 2.7 TRILLION USD had no choice but to accept EU terms or risk losing a market.

So clearly governments have the power to force legislations onto gaming companies
