No way!
I do like EA's games, b/c most of them are qualtity. But, I just can't stand them w/ their business practices. They are terrible -- WAY worse than Atari. They could've easily packed 7 expansions for the Sims into say 3 or 4. They stopped producing System Shock 2 (FPS/RPG), so it's now a rarity to find at a retail store -- plus, they own the license and got it from Irrational Games (the makers of Tribes: Vengeance, Freedom Force series, etc.), so it'll probably just sit there and rot.
Also, If you didn't know, EA is being sued for not paying overtime for a bunch of their now former designers.
And also, EA tried to buy DICE out. It looks like DICE might end up bought out by EA, after all, as shareholders in DICE are against the buy out -- especially sicne the Euro went up in value and they saw how bad EA does business:
