EuroGamer is reporting that EA Sport's boss Peter Moore has said he doesn't support the move to sue consumers for illegal downloading - warning, "It didn't work for the music industry." .

"I'm not a huge fan of trying to punish your consumer," he said. "Albeit these people have clearly stolen intellectual property, I think there are better ways of resolving this within our power as developers and publishers.

"Yes, we've got to find solutions," Moore continued. "We absolutely should crack down on piracy. People put a lot of blood, sweat and tears into their content and deserve to get paid for it. It's absolutely wrong, it is stealing"

"But at the same time I think there are better solutions than chasing people for money. I'm not sure what they are, other than to build game experiences that make it more difficult for there to be any value in pirating games"

BF2
Mirror's Edge
Crysis...

Whilst they have their flaws, you can't say a lot of work hasn't gone into them.

Ea does put out a lot of stinkers and one of the games mention isn't even out yet who knows if mirrors edge will be good, but i like Peter Moore's thinking. Sueing people just wastes time, money, and makes them look like bully's and even then they wont win all there court cases look at the RIAA and others.

When I see EA's name attached to a game I get a bad taste in my mouth.

So basically what i got from that regarding piracy: Steam is the way to go.

Agreed.

On a side note: I had to go through 3 pages to get to the root article.

Battlefield 2 and 2142 were both extremely impressive to me.
