Could have been worse - could have been Activision (or Apple?). At least EA's tech support department try and help, unlike Activision's (based on the two times I've tried to get support from each company).

750 mil does seem a heck of a lot for one studio, although it's been a while since I've bought anything on the PC from PopCap - their really nasty copy-protection puts me off.

Maybe EA saw the 'merican football zombie in Plants v's Zombie's and thought that this'd be nice potential tie-up with the Madden NFL series?
