[QUOTE=Sensei;38030248]Hey guys, just thought I would post this from another site: [IMG]http://www.overclock.net/content/type/61/id/1086215/width/1500/height/2500/flags/LL[/IMG] As much as I wish it weren't true, it looks like Origin intends on punishing those of us who "abused" their mistake.[/QUOTE] "Offer will expire on Oct 21st 2012" So maybe the coupon will come back?
[QUOTE=Egonny;38030441]"Offer will expire on Oct 21st 2012" So maybe the coupon will come back?[/QUOTE] After what just happened I SERIOUSLY doubt that, I would die of laughter if they just brought it back for everybody to abuse again
[QUOTE=Nemisis116;38030448]After what just happened I SERIOUSLY doubt that, I would die of laughter if they just brought it back for everybody to abuse again[/QUOTE] Well even if it wasn't on purpose, I'm pretty sure this coupon has made a lot of people start using Origin. And it's EA, who knows how they'll fuck up next time :v:
You actually trusted what an indian EA rep had to say? Those guys are notorious for saying stupid shit and not only that, being completely unable to fix anything. Not only that, they take a ridiculous amount of time to reply to the stupidest shit. One of them asked me restart my console when I was clearly talking about Origin.

I only got 3 games : bad company 2, bulletstorm , fifa 12 and dlc bad company 2 : vietnam
Got Dead Space 1 and 2. Wanted to get BF:BC2:Vietnam for my main steam acc, but it was too late. I'm happy either way.
Someone should make a ticket, about the coupon not working.
I'm going to laugh my ass off when the bans come rolling out.

[QUOTE=AGMadsAG;38030610]Someone should make a ticket, about the coupon not working.[/QUOTE] i'll do it :D
Oh God. Unlike everyone else who purchased like, 20 games, I got 2 $19.99 games. Dark Spore and Spore. Its their fault. It would be pretty freaking stupid to ban people for their own mistake.
Nothing much on the news front, just this (dunno if it qualifies as news), which was 10 hrs ago: [URL="http://www.examiner.com/article/ea-s-origin-offering-free-games-oct-13"]EA's Origin offering free games Oct. 13[/URL] [quote]EA is offering free games on Oct. 13 through their online game delivery service Origin. EA has not stated how long it will last so jump on this deal while you can. Of course you can't get any game for free, games marked 19.99 or less are part of this deal. Add the game to your cart and use the promo code OS3874XVC to get this offer. So far EA has kept this deal pretty quiet, not giving us a specific list of games that this promo code will work on. I just downloaded Dead Space 2 for free, but some of the games under 19.99 do not work. The promo code only works in North America as of right now. This fall is packed full of great games coming out and I don't know about you but my wallet is already empty at the end of the week. This is a great time to grab a game for that next rainy day for free. [URL="http://www.gamers-association.com"]www.gamers-association.com[/URL] has a list of games they have had success with so far. Keep an eye on the list for updates. [/quote]

They better not take away Dark Spore and Spore from me, because I've wanted those games since they came out, and at the moment, I'm stuck paying vet bills for my cat that died. Shouldn't have charged me for surgery when she didn't survive, dickheads.
How do so many of you not Americans get it to work? I can't get it to work here at all.

They dont know whats going on.
Everyone if you chat with Sadique, he/she are really nice and smart. Try to get in a chat with them, they are probably the best advisor.

Oh my god what is wrong with EA support.
[QUOTE=Flarey;38030795]-snip-[/QUOTE] Saw it before you snipped it! :D
We should just flood the supports with 'hey my code doesn't work!'
I can't imagine what they will do when all of the main staffs find out about this.. [SUP][SUP]Go panic and ban all Origin users[/SUP][/SUP]
[QUOTE=Nemisis116;38030806]We should just flood the supports with 'hey my code doesn't work!'[/QUOTE] Mine worked twice. I only wanted Dark Spore and Spore, though. I hereby promise EA I'll never use that code again (If its fixed) and will buy all my games legit UNLESS they screw up again.
