It's not about the law. Internet law about digital downloads is fuzzy as the devil's eyebrows. EA is the kind of company to be very legal about its price rises.
I notice that all the people who think this is all fair and good are from countries who haven't had price rises.
The Euro is not the Pound, no matter what you think. The Euro is not acceptable currency in the UK. Currency and exchange rates and taxes is not a viable reason to raise the price further - ESPECIALLY not when EA is already making money hand over fist from The Sims. £7:99, the previous price, translates to $11:07. Funny, that... it ALREADY cost more for us in the UK just to download a bunch of code from an online site. Strange how it's usually cheaper to buy online.
