EA removed Battlefield3 with russian/asian key from origin accounts!

At least in Germany. Heres the news text in German: http://www.golem.de/1111/87656.html and here is long thread about it: http://forum.ea.com/de/posts/list/863562.page

It got removed from my origin account today also. I bought the key from russia.

I am gonna do nothing about it.

What I am gonna do:

Until the end of my life, until my last breath I will do everything possible to do harm to Electroinc Arts. Starting to rate EA games negative in all kinds of rating sites today. Will think of someting else tomorrow.

phew, mine still there.



i think its strange... definately something the dude should contact ea about... pretty sure they cant just remove a game from your account... perhaps the guy was cheating or scammed his key or somethign... sounds awfully suspect that they just flat out removed the game from his account that he paid for if he didnt do anything wrong...

Heh, I wonder what Sin317 will say about this? We told him this kind of stuff happens, but he didn't believe us. Activision, EA and Ubisoft.. three biggest cunts in the industry who WILL fuck you at any given moment for any possible reason they can come up with.

Really shitty luck, noby mate, I feel bad for you. Kick up a stink on EA support. Whether they disagree with your location of purchase or not, doesn't matter, you purchased the game legally and as such as you DO have rights - even if that just means getting a refund from the vendor.

Meh. I bought my first BC2 key from a key seller on a forum, and it got taken off my EA Download Manager account a couple of months later. It's definitely something they've done before and will do again; they'll just claim that it wasn't bought from an authorised reseller, probably.

Sucks though. Sad

Mines definiteoy still there.

Germany as weird game censorship laws, maybe the non german version is illegal over there and they had to remove it for those reasons?

I think it might be only in Germany right now because you can't hear anything about it elsewhere. The most bold thing is that they just removed it from the account without any notification or anything. It's just gone.

I don't think the non German version is illegal because the German version of the game is also uncut.

You're such a rebel, son. Meanwhile, you keep buying their games and playing on their spyware platform that is Origin.

Is it possible to log-in to Origin via VPN? See whether it turns up in your account again.

I was reading the german forums and the original posts a little bit. So far I can tell the following.

According to several sources RUSSIAN KEYS in general have NOT been banned by EA. A single seller's keys (he delivered to various sites, EU Keys!) have been banned. Most people affected got a refund. It does not seem as if EA is hunting cheap russian keys at the moment.

I don't have the time to read on, but EA seems to be very "unlucky" with their public relations management.
