Have you even checked if the same people were part of OWI, or still are? It evolved from Project Reality. It isn't the same thing.
Also, EA was known to be one of the worst companies in America for good reason. They use their money and power to stop competition. They definitely sue to "protect their IP" and they also purchase small studios trying to compete with them, so they can't. Again, you need to reflect on if you actually hold these views. If you do, EA should be boycotted. I've been avoiding their games for probably near a decade now, because they're a scummy company. OWI doesn't compare to them. Stop giving them money if you actually have issues with this behavior. You clearly are just giving them a pass because you don't care.
The OWI boycott isn't actually a moral boycott because you don't stand by those morals. You are allowed to just not like the game instead of acting righteous while also still supporting a pretty consistently immoral company. I can understand why you wouldn't support them, but not if you also support EA. You can't really do both of these reasonably.
