    Wow More Ignorance. They DID turn these people into the authorities. Get your information straight before commenting.

    I didn't buy ME3, and I wont be buying any EA games in the foreseeable future. Something needs to change, and while I don't realistically think the consumer could force them into bankruptcy, i do believe they could force a shake up of the management, which is what EA needs, a new work ethic.
