>so why would I even give a company unrestricted access to my computer?
Because it doesn't affect you. You could email EA your credit card details right now and nobody would care. In the grand scheme of things, you're nobody, them having access to your shit is irrelevant. It's like having the ability to squish any one ant in your city. Sure you could do it at any point but is it worth your time and effort?
Now I'm not saying you should buy Call of Slopfield XXVIII but pretending that anyone gives a fuck about you on the internet is stupid.
