I'm not sure I actually believe their explanation considering they've been using it for so long. Remember this same company has bowed to activism pressure in the past numerous times and I can definitely see some snowflake outrage over "battle" being used. I just cannot trust anyone in the gaming industry to be up front any longer regarding anything they do.
As for the first comment on Tom's Hardware known for loopy comments Steam, Origin, and "other sites" didn't do this. Valve completely dropped their entire multiplayer network from WON over to Steam then over to Steam Community. EA's gone through like 10 name changes for their distribution platform which began in 2005 as EA Downloader. Nobody has just arbitrarily changed the name of a well established multiplayer network just to change the name.
Whatever, vidya gonna vidya.
