EA isn&#8217;t the first  publisher to stop including manuals&#8211;Ubisoft stopped including printed  guides almost a year ago&#8211; but it is the largest game-maker to stop  including manuals. If you absolutely can&#8217;t get by without a diagram that  says the left stick is move and the right stick is look, you&#8217;ll be able  to see any EA game manual online at <a href=\"http:\/\/support.ea.com\/app\/manuals\">EA&#8217;s support page<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>EA says it will reduce printed material in its packages by 40  percent, and that ultimately means less waste, less pollution, and a  greener earth. &#8220;EA is committed to a healthy and sustainable  environment,&#8221; said EA COO  John Schappert in a statement.<\/p>\n<p><a name=\"readmore\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Also, you gotta figure EA is committed to maximizing profits as well;  they&#8217;ll likely increase profits by lowering printing costs.<\/p>\n<p>What do you guys think?
