i bought sim city 4 doing this i didnt know i wasnt supposed to :(
[QUOTE=jordguitar;38027542]So they are just going to up and ban thousands of accounts and make the biggest shit storm the gaming industry has ever seen? I will love to get front row tickets to that event. [sp]They will not do it as I said before, the transaction is complete and they allowed it with a coupon they made. Their arguments will never hold up in a court/arbitrator[/sp][/QUOTE] I doubt EA will sit there and say "God shit Dick you fucking dumbass look what you did"
[QUOTE=J!NX;38027484]hell seeing how big EA is how didn't someone see this? Steam had something like this and BAM, stopped. This coupon was posted 16 hours ago, and likely way more than FP used it. I mean if they did, this is literally watching people walk out of your stores with unpaid for TV's and ignoring them, even though it's obviously wrong. You could call 911, or lock down the TV's and put up a preventative measure.[/QUOTE] front page of /v/ and reddit
[QUOTE=Rocko's;38027548]besides the fact I'm paranoid as shit, I would think this was theft in some way. I mean I got 5-6 games from this cause of one code, I would think EA wouldn't just ban me cause I still got the games installed and all.[/QUOTE] seriously even EA wouldn't do that :v: [QUOTE=MadPro119;38027567]front page of /v/ and reddit[/QUOTE] ok seriously they can do what they want in responce, but the longer they don't fix this, the more they deserve it and are at fault, holy shit rofl this is very viral, how can they not notice? also if EA tries to use this as "we are awesome" they'll get chewed up
[QUOTE=Rocko's;38027563]I doubt EA will sit there and say "God shit Dick you fucking dumbass look what you did"[/QUOTE] They will probably have their PR department say something to news sites when they pick up on it and just end it there. Too many people and their mistake means they are best off just going along with it all and eating all the losses.
[QUOTE=J!NX;38027572]seriously even EA wouldn't do that :v:[/QUOTE] EA banned accounts over an exploit on BF3, I would think they would go farther if it involved business. Welp, guess my paranoia is taking the best of me. I should stop assuming the worst of things.

[sp]just messing with you, don't worry, EA wont do anything, at worst maybe maybe remove the accounts, that's it ea is bad but not THAT dumb, plus it would be far too costly to sue anyone and it wouldn't hold up in court, ESPECIALLY in bulk.[/sp]
[QUOTE=Rocko's;38027584]EA banned accounts over an exploit on BF3, I would think they would go farther if it involved business. Welp, guess my paranoia is taking the best of me. I should stop assuming the worst of things.[/QUOTE] Banning accounts is far different from a lawsuit.

Things like this have happened before and nothing has happened to anyone. Those that say they got banned/suspended might have done something else to cause that.
Just bought the Burnout Paradise Ultra pack for free In Australia lol EA, you so silly
Is it over then? Code shows up invalid for me.
[QUOTE=asteroidrules;38027626]Is it over then? Code shows up invalid for me.[/QUOTE] Can only use it once per account.
Used it half an hour ago for NFS Pro Street (not a lot of EA's games appeal to me)
[QUOTE=Ridge;38027706]Used it half an hour ago for NFS Pro Street (not a lot of EA's games appeal to me)[/QUOTE] You know you're shitty when your games aren't even worth stealing I took Burnout Paradise and Mercenaries 2 Those games are about 4 years old at this point.
I used my code on Bulletstorm since I couldn't find anything else worth getting
I try to access origin on a proxy but it either gives me an error or takes way too long.
[QUOTE=Raidyr;38027681]Can only use it once per account.[/QUOTE] I hadn't used it yet, must've been a bug, did manage to get it though.
[QUOTE=Raidyr;38027681]Can only use it once per account.[/QUOTE] I got Hot Pursuit, Shift 2, 2142 all separately on one account. Just used the [url]http://store.origin.com/?ipr=ty[/url] link and cleaned cookies after every purchase :dance:
I was able to grab Back to Karkand earlier today, I actually play BF3 so I didn't want to risk getting greedy and having my account fucked with.
[QUOTE=Nemisis116;38027730]You know you're shitty when your games aren't even worth stealing I took Burnout Paradise and Mercenaries 2 Those games are about 4 years old at this point.[/QUOTE] Yeah I already own Paradise on Steam, and Mercenaries didn't impress me enough to scam it.
[QUOTE=Ridge;38027856]Yeah I already own Paradise on Steam, and Mercenaries didn't impress me enough to scam it.[/QUOTE] Mercenaries is pretty awesome. Especially for free.
It's asking me for a credit card, what should I do? (Dead Space)
I can't even log in anymore
Origin hardly runs on windows 8 it keeps crashing when i want to install anything
ahahha bf2142 doesnt even need origin at all, so when i got bc2 on another account i didnt even need the first one this is amazing what a shit service

Does BC2 need origin? [editline]14th October 2012[/editline] [QUOTE=Nemisis116;38027914]How are you doing that When I clear all the origin cookies it just logs me out and I have to go back in and the code is invalid[/QUOTE] Instead of clearing cookies I just used 2 different accounts.
This whole thread is warez.

[QUOTE=Dog;38027915]Does BC2 need origin? [/QUOTE] Nope. You sign in ingame with your EA account though.
