EA now issuing permanent Origin bans through content filter Pages PREV 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 | |
I've been bookmarking this case ever since I first got a whiff of something smelly. My conclusions so far are simple: 1) Stay the hell away from any and all EA online forums If we keep throwing money at them, they'll turn into the Socialist Third Shariah Reich of Catholic Anarchists. And we can't have that, now, can we. I still cherish some of my first C=64 ECA titles. Crap games, really. But they came wrapped in boatloads of lovingly crafty cardboard, and ECA just seemed so friendly back then. Now, they're basically some real-life Cyberdyne Systems with automated user buttplug harrassment, and they even expect to get paid for pestering and annoying us. I don't seem to like that very much. And I really can't condone whatever it is they're doing to/with Battleforge. It started out fresh, and now it's like... well... how to put it into words. CUT OFF THE CASHCOWS LEGS SO WE CAN KEEP IT BLEEDING. ADD SOME CRACK AND LSD TO THE BLOOD, WE CAN'T LET THE USERS STOP PLAYING. PLAYING MEANS PAYING, BUT THE USERS MUST NOT NOTICE IT. ADD RUSSIA. RUSSIANS LOVE TO PAY BY PHONE, IT'S CONVENIENT. That's some scary stuff right there. | |
I can vouch for the OP on Origin/Battlog bans being outrageous. I was just banned for quoting a post that I reported in battlog for being offensive. Here's the post /email: Hello , Your Electronic Arts account has been suspended for 72 hours for violating the Terms of Services for Electronic Arts Online. Violation: Inappropriate language: offenders post ^ My post: ...and I was banned for 72 hrs for reporting this thread. How retarted is that? Ea has an automated service noe that looks for words in your postings... if you quote someone else.. you get punished for the offense. | |
Well your tale was the final nail in the EA coffin for me, I will continue to buy all other companies games. But their games will now be obtained via less scrupulous means, if at all. Frankly, they seem to think themselves some sort of dystopian videogame dictators here. | |
10/10 Would rage again. | |
I no longer want EA to redeem themselves, I am actually wishing the company completely fails. Yes, this may lead to layoffs in an difficult time for people who didn't decide to take this course but they chose to work for this despicable organisation and their foreclosure would be a definite improvement to the industry. They could do SOMETHING to rise up against their leaders who are driving this publishing company off a cliff. The wholly owned studios would remain intact and simply be sold off to better publishers (i.e. ANY publisher). Work for the evil empire, don't be surprised if you lose out. EA have just gotten too bad, they just can't come back from this. This betrays such lack of confidence, such contempt for their customers, they have no trust left and can't earn it back. Please. EA. Just stop. | |
bans affect also console gamers, you know...... to the op read this: love origin. all your money are belong to us. ok made a mistake. buit i'm sure it will affect you in the future.
meanwhile at EA............. | |
I'll be returning to this thread to refresh it every time EA does something new like, oh I don't know, take weapons away people paid money for: http://battlefield.play4free.com/en/forum/showthread.php?tid=61323 Amazing how fast they got to 200 pages in this thread, must of hit yet another nerve. At least EA is being equal opportunity here, they screw up BF3 by banning people unfairly, and then follow on with their play for free version and pull a grinch on their paid for weaps. Merry Christmas from EA. | |
Anyone here familiar with the Sims,I used to go on the EA forums for the Sims 3 until it turned to trash you had trolls running amuck and getting innocent users banned I got banned for 72 hours for confronting a troll and as well they let the forum bullies run amuck while people who are gifting things or etc still get banned | |
I hate to be a dick, but do you have any proof about the Zynga employee? | |

yea, cant agree with this post more. the official forums are absolute trash. while im not saying "its your fault for posting in such an awful forum" or anything, because clearly you did nothing wrong, in the future everyone should avoid origin forums because they are just bad, in both content and functionality.
