Yup, saw it a couple of days ago.
But I still think that the biggest problem isn't that companies like EA do stuff like this, or that people still hand over money to them, it's that you get customers telling other customers that they shouldn't expect or demand ANY consumer rights when it comes to games. If someone chooses to wait for the developer to fix the problems, fine, but if a customer is supplied with a product that isn't fit for purpose, and wants a refund, he should be able to get it.
Until gamers drop that mindset that game developers are a special case who deserve leniency, the problem will continue to exist.
