Mass Effect and FIFA publisher Electronic Arts is mapping out a path that will see it transition eventually to a 100 percent digital business, EA Games president Frank Gibeau told Games Industry International in an interview published today.

EA is headed for a digital-only future, Gibeau predicts.

I won't be buying any more titles from EA.
whether they go all digital or not, their games these days are horrible, and until things take a complete 180, not wasting any more money.
