Consumers are sheep being led to slaughter. What did Bush say after 9/11? "Go out and shop." It kind of sounds like someone telling a drunk to have another.

The reason we are in a financial mess right now and our government owes over 10 Trillion dollars to other countries is because we all have to have the new shiny item, even if we don't have the money to pay for it. Debt is a legal form a slavery because we willingly enter into it. Oh by the way, 10 Trillion Dollars works out to over a quarter-of-a-million dollars owed by every man, woman, and child in the United States. EA is just the shiny example in the video game industry of a corporation that makes people think they need something.
