    I received this notice this morning in my email.

    Apparently it's true. $750m has been handed over in a [large] brown paper bag to a man in a hat.

    yeah, I got the same, and clicked the link to not transfer my details. I'd forgotten they'd done this deal back in the summer.
    Popcap has been pretty good sending freebies and fun stuff in emails over the years, never abusing the customer info. Hope EA weren't planning on getting the full Popcap customer database

    Oh, so that's what that was! I didn't bother reading it and slugged it into a folder. Thanks for the reminder.
