Wow

Haven't bought an EA game in years... doesn't look like that drought will end anytime soon.

....

hmm.. this is a complicated thing... On the one hand, they are completely right, i don't want to play with premature *ssholes who talk sh*t all the time like "f*ck your mom, ****!" and so on. BUT, on the other hand, If somebody paid 60 bucks or more for a game, he has the right to play that game online. If there is a way to reactivate accounts or if they are able to temporary ban somebody then I think it's completely ok to do so.

soon people will have like

10 IDs

!

LMFAO!!!!!

what?

i think that this will not be a good thing for EA, they are already pretty much in everybodys 'who gives a ***** if the game looks good, it's EA' book! they definatlety are in mine after the *****storm that was battle field bc on the ps3, can anyone say 'mic's crashing the system?'

.....

well there is a good EA game and I swear it's the only good one ive played in like.... forever, and that is Dead Space, but I guess the moral to this story is, don't talk on the official EA forums, easy as that, don't talk on the forums and no risk of getting banned!

EXACTLY BRO.

thats wut i was thinking .. just dont talk ***** around their own forums,just talk crap everywere else exccept there and you wont get banned,its that simple.. or just do your trash talking over the game wen your playing online... no one even parely [;ays there own games eccept for dead space and the 20th "sam ol *****" madden games. i dont even think anyone really likes them at all to be honest.

EA=EPIC FAIL

Well i hate ea with a passion! i refuse to "buy' their games anyway. i will however continue to d/l their games and play on my modded 360. ea is the sole reason for modding my 360. i buy every other game except the ones that have anything to do with ea. with the way they treat their customers i'd be surprised if ea survive. they really are cr@p! cr@p company is cr@p

Refers to the PC, no?

I think the big problem here is that this article is referring to the PC product. For the Consoles, there is also a concern related to the point I'm about to bring-up, but it's largely related to downloaded content only.... What happens when at some future point, logins are REQUIRED to play an installed PC game (for security/authentication/bootleg-prohibition). We've all seen the fangs of things like Steam. --I'm saying, for a moment forget even about not being able to play online: what about being required to login to a Master Account just to install a game and then the subsequent running of that game only being 'authorized' by the Master Account? --No more LOCAL play, either. :-O ...Which is actually a valid REAL concern with downloadable content on 360 and PS3: since your right to use content is related to your XBL or PSN ID.... if that ID were to be unusable due to a permanent ban .......no more downloaded games on- OR offline.
