Ask EA for a refund and your account will be banned.
Yup. So as some of you may know Sim City has always online DRM. EA failed to get their servers running and no one can play their purchased games. So some users are asking for a refund to which EA refuses. Try a charge back and your account will be banned.
All this negative feedback towards EA is just a fad though, right?

Easy solution. Move to a civilised nation, where customers have the right to return unsatisfactory products for a refund.

Misleading title is misleading. No one was banned just for asking them for a refund.

Origin clearly states that refunds for digital purchases are not possible unless it's under exceptional circumstances. This is not one of those circumstances, the product is working as intended however the service has a few flaws, EA failed to prepare for the launch.

...and all the idiots take it out of context. Steam, Uplay and all the other services feature an identical rule, if you do fraud, you get banned.

Edited by DarkestSeptagon: 3/7/2013 1:09:19 PMEA is angry that they have a bad reputation on the internet. Well this is -blam!-ing why EA! Screwing over Simcity customers like you did with Crysis 3 customers and many other games.

Fraudulent statement designed to be hyperbolic to induce rage is fraudulent and designed to be hyperbolic to induce rage. EA isn't banning people for asking for a refund. They are banning people who are attempting charge backs. Something that they agreed not to do when they signed up for EA's service.
