Hmmm. Well, at least they’re hiring, right? However, as noble as their intentions are, I can see a ton of issues with an all-digital platform that make it less a good move and more of a high-risk doom scenario under the right circumstances. But I’ll let you guys and gals discuss it amongst yourselves. Personally, I really LIKE the security of having a physical product as it’s something I can play offline and without relying on giving up personal information. Hell, given the rather crappy security ALL across the internet where a month can’t go by without some major information breach/theft issue making the news, it’s hard for me to trust ANY digital-only service with my personal data. I think we’re sacrificing security for convenience, which is a hell of a lot more dangerous in the long run, even if we’re assured that our data is “safe”. I have the feeling that there’s an anti-EA crowd of n’er do wells just waiting to poke holes in the company’s digital ship as soon as it sails. But we’ll see, I guess…
