Modern bandwidth costs are fairly insignificant. EA could probably invest in a transit provider even to further minimize them. Most of the capital assets required have already been made unless you're talking about wireless in which case its a whole different ballgame. You should take your own advice and read up before linking google results
EA you FORCE yourself to run the servers because you do not let users run their own servers then bitch that its costing you money. Then you start charging for it and get mad that people have finally clued in and gave you the middle finger?
Exactly. It has nothing to do with cost, its about control.
