Would you care to explain in what way it is "exactly the same issue"? Who is EA suppressing? Ultimately it's their product to offer as they please, and for consumers to buy or not to buy, and for investors to invest or not to invest in the firm, and for competitors who think they can do better, to do so. In what universe is this analogous to the Chinese government suppressing its citizens?
True, some people may not like what EA sells or is, much like many people disapprove of acts between consenting adults, but that scarcely puts it on par with a repressive government.
