[QUOTE=DaDillsta;38035279]They haven't banned anyone, and I doubt they bothered disabling Burnout Paradise. I don't see why they would have disabled it of all games, especially when they gave it out for free specifically on purpose before.[/QUOTE] Must be me then, Origin keeps saying "Unable to Verify" for The Sims 2 Seasons. I'll just try redownloading it. [editline]14th October 2012[/editline] I'm guessing the code is dead now? Looks like it.
I activated a couple on my main account with a few games I purchased. You guys are making me all nervous! It will unlikely come to banning though. If they were sensible (which they are not), and really feel the need to ban, they will ban the accounts with games only retrieved through the use of that code, after the date it got shared.
fuck it, with these talks of taking away the games I'd rather be safe than sorry [img]http://i.imgur.com/1onQm.jpg[/img] :v:
Shit fuck I forgot to get ONE MORE GAME, oh well I can survive without Sims 2 Pets.
So I totally forgot I even had an alt account from when my main account login was flipping out a couple months back so I put The Saboteur on it last night and then went to bed. :dance:
Hopefully EA will do what Valve did with the first Idle program in Tf2 and give all the people who didn't exploit it a reward. [sp]I can dream[/sp]
Well at the end of the day I got, Battlefield 2, Battlefield 2142, Battlefield: Bad Company 2 and MoD: Airborn. I'm going to be satisfied for a bit till Halo 4 comes out.

[sp]I can dream[/sp][/QUOTE] I didn't exploit it with my main account hehehe, reward please. That wouldn't work out too well would it now? Edit: I remember that program, got a bitchslap from Valve for using that.

Edit: I remember that program, got a bitchslap from Valve for using that.[/QUOTE] I used it like once and deleted the items I got after that and they still gave me that hat due to informing them of said items being deleted
[QUOTE=Juniez;38033860]They didn't screw up too bad, they put the "one time use" thing into the fine print for that reason, its not their fault you broke the tos[/QUOTE] That was apparently only on the survey that spat the code out in the first place. I am sure alot of people did not take it.
[QUOTE=gamerman345;38036634]Hopefully EA will do what Valve did with the first Idle program in Tf2 and give all the people who didn't exploit it a reward. [sp]I can dream[/sp][/QUOTE] I didn't take TF2 seriously enough to use the idling program. :v:
[QUOTE=Rocko's;38036010]Shit fuck I forgot to get ONE MORE GAME, oh well I can survive without Sims 2 Pets.[/QUOTE] Fuck, I forgot that too. .... Does anyone have an account with Sims 2 pets they can loan me? I promise I'll pay you back somehow.
i forgot to get some games, at least i have my sim city 4.
You guys are lucky, I only got Bad Company 2 + Vietnam DLC, Bulletstorm and Fifa 12. :/
only?
I wish I would have started when I first saw the exploit, I managed to hit checkout right after they'd hotfixed using the code on everything in your cart. Managed to get 3 games, but fuuuck I wanted bfbc2.
I should of got the Sims 3 and expansions while i had the chance.
If they come out saying "it was in the fine print, you should have known!" they're going to get so much flak Nobody fucking reads the fine print, and decent websites make it so you're unable to enter a code twice, or generate individual one-use codes. [editline]14th October 2012[/editline] They're my games and I acquired them from your store legally EA, I have CD keys and everything so you can go fuck yourself if you think I won't use them by getting the games from other means. Downloading a game is alright when you lose the CD, isn't it?
they didn't even send me a code :suicide:
We didn't have a chance to get some of things we wanted because the store was slow as fuck!
[QUOTE=WaffleCopter;38037627]We didn't have a chance to get some of things we wanted because the store was slow as fuck![/QUOTE] I had to deal with constantly pasting the code into the redeem code area so many times so I know your pain
I just couldn't decide what game to choose.
[QUOTE=DaWhatTheFox;38037940]I just couldn't decide what game to choose.[/QUOTE] So why not choose all of them :v:
Felt too lazy.
I gotta say though, I like the Origin client's design feels smooth
Approximate final tallies: -A good portion of facepunch -90% of /v/ even though they're being conspiracy crackpots about it and talking about how it was on purpose and caused 9/11 and such -one game per person on some subreddits (don't think it even hit r/gaming frontpage) and they still haven't figured out it was taken down because it was exploitable :v:
