"EA Retracts Game Ban For Forum Violation"
http://www.rockpapershotgun.com/2011/03/11/ea-retracts-game-ban-for-forum-violation/


Here are some quotes from this article called:
"Biowhere? EA working on fixing game bans."
http://www.rockpaper...xing-game-bans/

So what is the latest word on EA and BioWare banning users from games? You may remember that on Friday, the now-famous Arno found he was unable to acces his copy of Dragon Age  ]because he made a rude-ish comment on the BioWare forums. .... Later that day Arno recieved a personal mail [/color]from the Senior Director of Customer Services himself, Boyd Beasley, explaining that this had been an error, with accompanying profuse apologies. Since we wrote the story we’ve heard about the same happening to other gamers, as long ago as a year back, and indeed it happened again to someone else over the weekend. Asking EA about this, they’ve given us a statement explaining that this continues to be a fault, and they’re working on fixing it by the end of the week.

But as John, me and many other gamers we were left with some questions. Take it away John!

EA certainly seem to be suggesting that their software’s error is causing account bans to be too overreaching, and that single player gamers shouldn’t be affected. Which would be fair enough. But when their ToS says that account bans can include the permanent deletion of accounts, with no reimbursement for the value of the games lost, where are the lines drawn?

For the entire article and more go to Rock, Paper, Shotgun.

PLUS: Be sure to check his analysis of the first 8 hours in DA2. It touches some major points.http://www.rockpaper...-dragon-age-ii/

If you aren't going to post something constructive in a topic, don't post.

Folks are entitled to their opinion. No need to shout them down because they have it, nor is there a need to resort to insults.

Once again, if you aren't going to post constructively, then don't post at all. That means that if the only reason you plan to join a thread is to say 'YOUR OPINION IS DUMB', then that might fall under the category of 'poor decision'.

Warnings handed out.
