Guess I'm never going to buy another EA game again...

Plenty of indie developers to choose from anyhow.

@tinker Making a mental note to uninstall the EA app from my machine.

Software auto-updates... and while I don't expect EA to stick privacy-invading code into some future update, I only run software from organizations I trust on my machine, and I definitely don't trust something headed by Kushner and a random foreign government.
