Update: EA has corrected this report, saying APOC's statement
is not accurate. Original Story:
A post on the
EA Support Forums from APOC, online community manager for Electronic Arts,
outlines a new policy for their new forums, saying users who earn a ban based on
their behavior in the forums will be locked out of all of the EA games tied to
that account. Thanks
Ripten. Word is: Well, its actually going to be a bit nastier for
those who get banned.
Your forum account will be directly tied to your Master EA Account, so if we ban
you on the forums, you would be banned from the game as well since the login
process is the same. And you'd actually be banned from your other EA games as
well since its all tied to your account. So if you have SPORE and Red Alert 3
and you get yourself banned on our forums or in-game, well, your SPORE account
would be banned to. It's all one in the same, so I strongly reccommend people
play nice and act mature.
All in all, we expect people to come on here and abide by our ToS. We hate
banning people, it makes our lives a lot tougher, but its what we have to do.
Those banned will stay banned, but like most other internet services, its not
that hard to create a new fake e-mail account. However, its a lot harder to get
a new serial key =)
Avatars should be back within 2 weeks of the launch.

Sounds to me (a legit customer) that the pirates are the ones that are mad about DRM because now they have to go out and buy the game if it comes out and doesn't have a crack ready for it (which lots of games come out but won't get a crack for 1-2 weeks after it's released). I'm sorry pirates, go buy a game and quit your whining and quit camouflaging your anger as a legit paying customer. *sigh*
This has been debunked so often and so thoroughly that you have to wonder about people who keep parroting it. DRM has inconvenienced many more legitimate customers than it has pirates. In general, most games are illegally released within a day or two (if not before) a game hits the shelves, usually with a crack that removes all the inconvenience of the DRM. The only one left dealing with DRM issues is the legitimate customer.
While I'm sure you're happy that you haven't had any issues up to this point, that doesn't take away from the many people that have (me included, thanks Starforce), nor does it make anyone that has a "pirate". |
