The thing that struck me is that the guys that generally do Folding@Home? Seti@Home? The ones with the herkin' computers that they lend out time on out of altruism? Yeah, generally gamers. So the whole "your poor little computer is inadequate to do the calculations necessary to run what is basically Minecraft XL so we'll take all that stuff internal" is quite possibly the worst lie EA has ever told. And it's kind of amazing that they went with the "we're doing you a favor by keeping your hopelessly inferior machine from having to do math" angle. It's like something from an SNL skit or Archer episode.
