They actually are.
They raise awareness by "talking" about it and they show that they do not support Origin by not buying from it.

"Blizzard spoke thus; Thou shalt not BM. And the players replied Nay, I shall Play my hand with Lethal already on the board. And so Blizzard sent unto them this Brawl of Yogg, As a lesson for their sins of Pride and Greed, for he is the Prophet of Madness and RNG. On that day, the tavern descended into an era of chaos and darkness, until the weekend passed and everyone forgot all about it. Amen. Book of SMOrc, Verse 20, Chapter 4." - Feam T
as searz said. while my words might not hold much weight here, i have personally told all my friends about the **** that goes on behind the scenes in the industry.
and its not just ea, but activision, ubisoft, capcom, blizzard (sorry searz but diablo and the current state of wow). and not just the publishers and devs either, but also gamestop and gaming 'journalism', to name a few.
if the industry keeps down this path things will get a whole lot worse. the industry used to be about the games, now its about the money, and the big wigs will continue to get greedier and greedier until they're stopped.

Steam handles these kinds of "information" deals perfectly.
They ask you once a month if you wanna send them info about your system and they show exactly the info you're sending, allowing you to confirm before sending.
^THIS IS HOW YOU GET THE TRUST AND RESPECT OF YOUR CUSTOMERS EA.

EA did some cookie-cutter response to the whole ordeal saying something along the lines of 'We have no reason to believe any important information has been compromised', which honestly, didn't tell people jack ****.

"I sexually Identify as an Attack Helicopter. Ever since I was a boy I dreamed of soaring over the oilfields dropping hot sticky loads on disgusting foreigners. People say to me that a person being a helicopter is Impossible and I’m ****ing ******ed but I don’t care, I’m beautiful. I’m having a plastic surgeon install rotary blades, 30 mm cannons and AMG-114 Hellfire missiles on my body. From now on I want you guys to call me “Apache†and respect my right to kill from above and kill needlessly. If you can’t accept me you’re a heliphobe and need to check your vehicle privilege.

i'd tell you that you, and everyone else that uses origin, are the ones that are allowing ea to do these things.
just like all those people who enable terrible dlc, because they purchase it.
