I don't think it has much to do with the information. I think EA got hacked for reasons similar to those involving the recent PS3 shebang. EA has gotten to the point where they can do just about anything they want and get way with it (their recent "Online Pass" policy that makes you pay extra to get online if you bought your game used is a great example) and their actions really aren't sitting well with a lot of people. The fact alone that EA has been making money by buying out as many small developers as they can is making people angry. They're at the point now where simply raising boycott movements won't work; they produce so many of the popular games (Assassin's Creed, Dragon Age, Dead Space, almost every sports game, etc) that losing a few thousand people is just a drop in the bucket for them. And that's why I think they got hacked; they're too far out to be reached with normal methods, so the only way to make your voice heard is to use more drastic methods. That's my theory, anyways.

I got that same mail a few days ago too. They force you to change your password just to be safe. Hope none of my info was part of the stolen data. This is why you should always update your security.
