EA are the 2nd biggest games publisher in the EU, so not seeing their games on the Wii-U won't bat a difference to me. The only EA-based games i have are The Sims 3 (on the PC, as it should be played) and the Mass Effect Trilogy (made by Bioware, published by EA). Other than that, i don't play EA games. So this decision will not phase me at all, and from the looks of things isn't phasing many other people either.
Yes it will be a loss, but on ONM they believe Ninty are on the verge of getting the Wii-U right and it won't be long until EA return.
