Waiting for Battlefield 2142? Don't bother

Even though I'm not much of a FPS gamer, I know that the Battlefield series is incredibly popular. The latest installment, Battlefield 2142, is due out this week.

There is something you should know about BF 2142 before you buy it.

In a nutshell, BF 2142 installs spyware on your computer and sends the information it gathers to ad companies, who then determine what in-game ads are displayed. EA is giving you the opportunity to pay full retail price for this awesome feature. What the hell is wrong with EA? Do they actually think their customers will appreciate this "feature"?

This is when a game begs "Hack me!" and normally rule following people set aside their morality since the company has as well. I will vote with my wallet and defer purchase until the product is acceptable.
