In the end we'll probably never know the truth, so just play the game and stop worrying about it.
If you chose to accept lies and live a happy life with that just do as you like. They will never admit that they use it somewhere, of course not. But if they have such patents they will use them, especially when they have to pay money to get it in first place. The sheer existence is evidence enough, believe it or not.
What's the alternative?
Don't accept their lies and stop playing because you believe that the existence of such a patent is evidence enough for you to know that they're using it?
That's one way to deal with it, yes. Another one is to continue playing with that knowledge and keep it in mind for future if it comes to questions like 'To spend or not to spend'.
Even if they don't use it for this game they will use it somewhere and some people may chose to not spend money to a business that uses such bad tricks.
So basically just keep playing like you were playing before you were aware that they owned such a patent. Maybe pretent to be outraged a bit here and there, blame EA for being greedy once again, referrence their horrible reputation a few times and most importantly; potentially stop spending like this is the last straw that broke the camel's back.
I'm sorry, it's just funny to me.
