DA2: Shit just got real.

Another player banned from DA2

What’s more intriguing is that the email says the decision is “final,” and that no further correspondence regarding his account will be acknowledged. Furthermore, the email explicitly states that the user is asked not to contact EA regarding this matter anymore either by email or by phone. I take it they’re really serious then, or maybe it's just another glitch?

end of line.

i disagree with forum behavior having anything to do with whether you can play a game (& DLC) you've paid for. can someone who owns (legit copy) DA2 confirm if the DLC requires just the initial authentication like dao? getting banned from their forums seems like a bonus, not a punishment.

here's the thread for his ban (tez19 -- he edited but others quoted him)

This stuff is legal in the US? Don't you have some kind of consumer help organization? If they tried something like this with someone from Norway, it'd quickly be taken up by the CO.

The Consumer Ombudsman (CO) is an independent administrative body with the responsibility of supervising measures in the market and seek to exert influence on traders to observe the regulatory framework.

The CO considers cases upon complaints from consumers and traders, but will also at his own initiative look at marketing measures.

Through negotiations with traders it is sought to arrive at voluntary arrangements. Failure to reach such a solution, the Consumer Ombudsman may submit the case to the Market Council which is a "court of law" in that field. The CO may also take matters of principle to the Market Council, even when there is no dispute with the trader concerned.

The Consumer Ombudsman carries out supervision of the Marketing Control Act as well as with certain parts of the regulatory framework governing advertising in broadcasting. The CO and the Market Council have authority to issue decisions banning unlawful marketing and contract terms and conditions in standard contracts when deemed necessary in the interests of consumers.

And these guys are *very* pro-consumers. Say hi to socialism, EA.

I was mildly curious as to what he wrote to get himself banned. I can see why he was.

I reported your post. Hopefully EA bans you so you cannot activate your game features. Others should report it as well if they havent already.

I sure hope this guy's trolling, otherwise this kind of mentality is pretty disgusting.

Joking about Bethshapo when the the Stasibio is ignored.

Not... when you see what that guy wrote. And how he's obviously a seriously in need of help individual too.
