Just posted an article on SavyGamer by someone else, and someone pointed out a grammar error in the comments. I think it is actually correct, but I am not very good with grammar, so can I run it past you guys.
"I think that speaks a lot for just how ‘concerned’ the majority of these naysayers actually were, though I applaud EA in it’s decision to take action in order to avoid further unnecessary bad press."
Someone said that the bolded "it's" should be "its". I thought that since the decision belongs to EA, it need an apostrophe.

It should be its. "It's" solely refers to 'it is'.

Cheers.
I'm generally OK at grammar, but sometimes both possibilities look correct to me.

I think if the "in its" wasn't there then you would have EA's decision that would work.
