This is like the guy who tries to go out with a girl for a second time, she says no and he keeps calling and giving deadlines for her to say yes or else he will move on.

That's considered stalking. We've got laws for that.

Although, it could be considered sexual harassment, or even that EA is propositioning to pay for sex. Interesting that the latter seems to fit given their track record when it comes to buying up high class prostit.. er uh... game developers.
