You swore on their forums and you would receive a temporary ban. Why does that become their problem? I know that you are speaking with your money and i agree with that statement 100percent. But i think your reasoning behind it is childish. | ||

And I think that's an ok stance. Edit: Of course only when there really was a violation / misbehaviour  | ||

Tell them by actually not paying for their games anymore. Only way companies actually listen. | ||

My guess is that somewhere in the giant EA corporate structure, someone heard about social networking and "Facebook integration" and decided to link the forum and Origin accounts without making a provision for one of those getting banned. Probably by now, no one thinks this policy is a good idea but there's probably a bunch of different corporate divisions each trying to avoid blame, so no one actually gets around to fixing it. nice post | ||

I don't know what their criteria is though, as the OP seems really biased -_-. Dude, according to what I read on TL, I don't know if it's real or not but if it's true it has some serious issues Like one dude they sweared in his post and then he mentioned another guy in that post. But the other guy were banned as well, I mean if that shit is true I am never ever gonna touch EA forums, just out of paranoia for being mentioned.. I really hope I got this wrong because that is so.. weird in all possible ways | ||

Ubisoft's PC sales have fallen by 90% since the introduction of their special new DRM without a corresponding rise in console sales. That means people aren't just migrating to consoles...they've stopped buying Ubisoft games altogether. Despite this hilarious drop in sales Ubisoft still calls their DRM a success. http://www.pcgamer.com/2011/10/07/opinion-ubisoft-piracy-and-the-death-of-reason/ | ||

Something similiar already happend once (that i know off) i dont recall the game and company but they isued a game with a limited number of instaltions (You could install it like five times and thats all), some guy sued them over it, their lawyers told them that they cant win in court, and they created a patch that allowed limitless instaltions. My point is, if You think Your rights are being violated and You care enough, just fight in court. A lot of companies (not only in gaming) use forbiden clauses all the time just beacause people dont care enough to fight them in court. Going to court isnt even necessary most of the time (pre-trial letter usually just does the job). | ||

It should be made clear when you join the forum tho that your games are at risk. I wouldn't bother joining a forum that told me that  | ||

Your forum account and Steam accounts aren't linked. That's why when their forums got hacked they weren't worried about the actual store accounts. | ||

Speaking with my money is probably the least childish way of doing things. My reason is that I think what they did was stupid and I felt like voicing my opinion. Am I allowed to voice my opinion? If I changed the curse words would it be better? Probably not. | ||

If anything is going to be automated it should be approved by a human being before the ban goes thru. If you're going to ban people for swearing you should just not sell video games with swearing because it's soooo offensive. Sounds like team liquid. Swearing is bad children. | ||
