None of us and even all of us can't change this policy. I say, to safeguard yourself from EA and any other company, keep your most private data offline. If they see any pirated software in my system, I plead the 5th in advance.Not sure if closing off Origin when not playing will help any but one thing is for certain. NOTHING is getting between me and my Battlefield, and I do mean nothing.60 more daysss, 8.5 weeks left for BF3!!!!!!
The only way to be sure is to pull up another eula, say steam?
