 I'll never buy another EA/Bioware game again if it's true that I can be suspended from playing my games for negative comments.

http://social.biowar.../index/6459941/

I understand Bioware is under EA now but on principle I can't support anyone who over reacts when someone says something bad about them.  Yeah yeah it's your game, we only buy rights to it but suspending people for not liking it is totally not cool

Make this right please because the list of game publishers is getting way too short and I'd hate to have to find a new hobby.

Edit: Removed the free speech bit, sorry was in a bit of a rage.

Err....don't most people ban others for well being disruptive? Welcome to the real world. Go out side and talk trash bought the goverment, threaten to not pay taxes till they do everything like you want, and then call me,

when your in prison and need a lawyer, or need a bodyguard as your being fallowed. Go on the Bungie forums and tell them halo sucks, bea troll, or have good thought out reassoning, and see how long till they bad you. Bioware is very restraint, must come from being in Canada, Eh?

This has nothing to do with "free speech," but everything to do with a wildly-unbalanced response. Revoking game access for a mildly-disagreeable post is like impounding a person's car for a speeding violation.

Add me to the list of people that will refuse to purchase a game under an agreement penned by the Schutzstaffel.

Wrong in the State of North Carolina at least 15 mph past the speed limit is enough for it, but normally they just arrest you. 20-25 though is an automatic impounding and revoking of ones DL. Ah yes and passing a school bus thats letting kids off THATS A GOOD way to get yourself in deep trouble

A woman I know had a heart attack and did that actully, killed a kid, dispite it being a medical accident shes not allowed to drive again for well at least 30 years.

Then don't, you won't be missed.

Well put.


And to the others I have no illusions on my importance to a large corporation.  In instances such as this my only recourse is to let Bioware/EA know of my disatisfaction and to not give them my money anymore.  I realize that my money is but a drop of a drop in the bucket.

[DukeOfNukes]

I'm sorry, but I have to agree with the OP, at least to a certain extent. I know that freedom of speech doesn't apply to private organizations/websites...but he purchased the game, he should be allowed to play it. Enough of this "you're not purchasing the game, you're purchasing the right to play it" BS. Ban him from the forums, sure...but removing his ability to play a SINGLE PLAYER GAME is downright idiotic.

Seriously, it's getting to the point where the only way to play games is to hack them. First, all the DRM BS, and actually banning people from playing because of a mildly offensive post on the internet?

[KanyeWezt]

Silence, peasants.

End of line.

Disregard OPs post, ramble about speed limits

The fact that you think that BioWare will even give a crap about 'YOUR' disatisfaction is not evidence enough for you to acknowledge that you have an allusion of importance?

Banning a person from posting to forum is all fine and dandy (if there's a reason to ban, of course), but to make person unable to play the game? That is total b.s. and something that should never, ever be tolerated. And the way damage control has been on these forums, I'd wager these kinds of actions will continue.

[Keele]

You know TC, you can always concede.

[TheNerevarine]

I can't say I'm going to boycott over this, but it will play a role in my purchasing decisions.

Also, they don't take your car, they take your license to operate, resulting in an impound since it would be a felony to operate it after the fact... and only after a major traffic violation, certainly not your first +15mph ticket.

What does this strawman argument about the right to operate on public motorways have to do with digital rights and video games? You know, other than absolutely nothing... ?

Why even bother trying to justify revoking someone's game license because of an unrelated forum post, what do you stand to gain? What does EA gain? Nothing but bad vibes here.

You don't own or know anyone that plays Starcraft 2 do you?

Blizzard bans people on a daily bases for crap like this but will let you re-activate the game. For a price. And yet noone over there will talk about it. Why? Blizzard bans them as well, soon you learn, he who shouts loudest gets...

LOL MY God reminds me Lucas Arts/Sony  had a classic response for this crap, you protested in SWG, and guess what, you got teleported in a level litterally days away from a space port, sent into a black hole, or left on a moon with well hardly anyway back. Ahh classic and a good way for dealing with decent. No one protested for years after that.

Edit, now that I think about so did PWE, I once seen a protest parade there, and some mods showed up and everyone just vanished, locked away in a test zone for several days.

One more person here not buying more bioware/EA games. Shame to, Mass Effect 3 looked promising.

End of Line.

[Feverus]

For the posters supporting EA/Bioware, do you think the onus is on a gamer to assume an AAA game company will ban him from playing a single-player game for the kind of relatively inoffensive criticism in this example?

If not, do you believe every gamer needs to read through the EULA for every game they buy to ensure this doesn't happen?  If you had to do so, you wouldn't buy as many games.  In fact, sales would crash, and that's not in the interests of EA or any other game company.  Frankly, hiding terms like that in the EULA is a swindle.  

I will say it loud and proud: Bioware has sold their soul to EA and is swindling their consumers.  If you buy their games, after this point, you deserve whatever they do to you. 

[KenKenpachi]

Err I for one always read the TOS, just to make sure theres no crazy **** in there myself. Then again I'm slightly paranoid. Its a smart thing to do any case, mark my words one day you kids are going to buy a game scroll through and then click okay, two days later someones coming with a whip and points on the list where it says that by clicking I Agree, you lawfully sell your soul, body and mind to such and such.

Or at the very least an outlandish monthly play fee, yeah that works too.

Ignorance of the Law is not a defense.

Can you point out examples of this?  I wasn't aware of this, and how much does it cost to re activate your game?

Although, I don't agree with the poster's behavior, he shouldn't be banned from ever playing any Bioware games. I mean I've seen worse posted one these forums. Actually there is a lot of dumb posts, but they never get banned, at least I don't think so anyway.
