US game maker EA formally cancels paper manual

Beijing time March 24 afternoon news, following the French game maker Ubisoft (Ubisoft), the US game giant EA also announced will stop in the game with paper instructions.　　EA first introduced this policy in the PlayStation 3 edition of Quality Effect 2 this January and extended it to the Fight Night Champion earlier this month. This policy will be implemented in the future for all EA games around the world, and these games will only be accompanied by electronic version manuals in the CD.　　Players can also download multiple language manuals via EA's website, but only part of the game supports this feature. EA is expected to reduce the printing material of boxed games by 40%. The move will undoubtedly save money, but EA has not released specific figures, but has highlighted the importance of environmental protection. "EA is committed to environmental health and sustainable development."　　"EA COO John Chabert (John Schappert) said. It is not clear what impact this move will have on the operation of EA, but when Ubisoft took the measure last year, it said it would consume about two tonnes of wood per ton of manual paper, about 13 trees, and the energy consumed was about 28 million BTU (the average calorie and energy consumption per household per year).
