Yes, I do think they would care about lost PC sales. They're in the business of making and selling PC games, assuming they don't care about PC games sales seems to be a massive leap of logic. Considering origin is a PC only platform a sharp drop in PC sales would encourage them the make changes...
Pretty much what I've been saying all along. The only way to send a message to EA on this would be to vote with your wallet. But considering this game is selling like pudding that cures cancer, I'm not holding out much hope that EA will see the error of their ways.
