EA har endnu ikke besluttet hvad de vil gøre med hensyn til DRM på konsollerne endnu. Det siger COO Peter Moore i et interview, efter Sony og Microsoft har annonceret deres respektive og ganske forskellige tilgange til DRM-systemer på PlayStation 4 og Xbox One.

"We have not internally even begun to sit down and answer those questions", siger Moore i et interview med Polygon.

"Sony have announced what they are going to do which is, y'know, business as usual, and then Microsoft are looking at allowing a publisher to opt-in, should they choose to do so. But if we opt in, do [Microsoft] charge a fee, and if so, how much?"

Moore slår også fast, at EA ikke har bedt konsolfabrikanterne om at indføre nye DRM-begrænsninger.

"EA did not aggressively lobby for the platform holders to put some gating function in there to allow or disallow used games. I am on record as being a proponent of used games. I like the ecosystem. I like the fact that it's kept pricing at a good level for eight years. I like the fact that someone can buy a physical game and see some equity in that game. That keeps GameStop vibrant and they are a great launch and marketing partner for us.

EA has never had a conversation, and I have been present at all of them, with all of the manufacturers, saying you must put a system in place that allows us to take a piece of the action or even stop it."
