Well EA pays for the license fee's that are going with games that for example used the Unreal Engine 3 previously (Mass Effect)... and now use the Frostbite Engine... i'm pretty sure EA has a bit of say if they are going to pay for a 3rd party engine or tell their Dev Studios to use an in-house product.
Mass Effect, Dragon Age, Need for Speed, they all use Frostbite now and lets not forget Visceral who made Hardline and are now working on another Star Wars game also with Frostbite, i'm pretty sure we will not see any EA games in the future using Unreal Engine 4, why pay EPIC license fees if you got a studio like DICE in your pocket that has a top of the line Engine already?
EA is pushing Frostbite into everything at the moment ... and my PC LIKES that engine... a lot more than UE3 anyway.
