The thing that scares me is not how blatantly obvious EA shows how much they care about their paying customers, not how much innocent people have been banned, but how much inspiration Manifesto might get from this merciless act. | ||

The community quickly proved that even with just a real name, you could get WAY too much information about someone. A legion of people also cancelled pre-orders. It was probably the most ill conceived thing about Battle.net 2.0 (which is saying a lot because almost the whole infrastructure is an abortion). | ||

When you do not actually own the game for which you paid, the publisher can simply take it away whenever they want. Tons of people said they'd never be that stupid. But here we are. EA is just taking away your game because you never actually owned it in the first place. | ||

I don't understand why anyone would let a company get away with this sort of despotism. | ||

Just never buy the games from them, pirate it or let it rot on the shelf until the company either changes their ways or dies. Oh, and again, as I've posted before: Anyone who thinks this is illegal has not read an EULA. Short version is that you don't own anything but the right to play the game for as long as the company wants you to. That's what you get for your $60. Has the supreme court looked over the issue of an EULA's constitutionality with respect to property rights? EA should be careful they do not spurn enough people to cause a legal mess over this. I don't see them winning in court despite there being a small box that says "I Agree" | ||

In any case, good job EA for convincing me to never buy any of your games! You can now go rot in the corner together with Ubisoft. Oh yeah that's a good idea! v | ||
