Internet forum posters = All talk, no action.
"I'm not going to give EA any of my money!"
*Promptly goes and buys SWTOR or ME3 or NFLwhateveryear or Need For Speed 23 or Dragon Age whatever or Sims whatever.*
My guess is EA will record enormous profits again next year, since it is all talk. Just like the infamous CoD boycotts that happened, in which an astounding number of boycotters bought and were playing.
Easy thing to do? Don't post on the forums. Just live with it. None of you will ever, ever change how things work.
Such a tiny amount of people will even know of anything "evil" EA has done, since it isn't anywhere on the internet except certain gaming websites and obviously never on the news. If it was Microsoft that did something evil with Windows, then people would know because it is actual news. Of the people who see it on a gaming website, most won't care, a small amount will care and will still buy EA products, a smaller amount will care, say they aren't going to buy EA products but continue to do so, and barely a handful will actually stop buying EA products.
