EA could cure every disease and lead the world into a Utopian age and I'd still boycott everything remotely related to them. They'll never get a cent out of me.
They're probably just saying this because upcoming console games will require locking each disc/game to an account anyway.

Is there anything EA doesn't kill nowdays?

Maybe they have finally appointed someone who knows what they are talking about when it comes to video games, you know some like an actual gamer rather than a pen pusher who is only in it to make money. They need to learn to take care of their customers and alienate them by trying to squeeze every last penny out of them.
The next step is getting a god damn patch out for Sim City so we can play it offline on our own, they said it couldn't be done and hackers proved them wrong by hacking the game code and showing us that it could be.
Then do away with Origin and embrace other companies like GOG, and Steam, and others. Work with them to get their games to as many people as possible.
Finally come up with some actually good games, sure keep Battlefield series going, give Bioware a shed ton of money tell them to spend it on a Star Wars game, shut the door and let them get on with it instead of interfering.
Jobs a good un.

I don't think it was a bad idea to curb the 2nd hand market, every single console game I have is 2nd hand or those completed singleplayer ones just rented.
This atleast made me consider to buy new for multiplayer... but then I have the PC for my multi shooters.

EA doesn't do things for the good of Gamers. The only 2 reasons EA stopped the online passes is because:-
1) It was giving their tech support team a headache everytime a player installed DLC on Mass Effect 3 and their online pass auto de-authorised itself.
2) Gamers just weren't shelling out for stand-alone online passes. The money wasn't coming in.
So for EA, online passes weren't profitable and they were a pain in the ass for them to be put right when they went wrong. Don't be naive
