Now, I don't like EA.
Like, at all.
However, you really have to wonder who's in charge of the company, when stuff like this happens.
I think that all companies need to have a six-year old on the advisory board, anything that s/he spots that could be a dumb idea, doesn't get passed.

This weekend, Electronic Arts accidentally gave away thousands of free games thanks to a discount coupon, rewarded to anyone who
filled out their marketing survey, that would take $20 off any purchase of more than $20. Some crafty gamers figured out that they could use the coupon more than once, and they walked away with a whole bunch of free EA-published games like Mass Effect and Dragon Age.
