no, companies should be held accountable to supply you a service. and if they want to discontinue it, give you ample time to download all your games.

what's next. "my house burned down in a fire."
"good thing i have all my stuff digital"

im sure if the company is going down they are going to be jumping at the chance to let you download all your shit DRM free. Thats sounds like something EA would do.

it's funny how people are already jumping on the bandwagon and believing just OP's side of the story. Is it that hard for most people to adopt something called CRITICAL THINKING?

There's many branching possiblities to this. OP could have just hacked all his games (srsly, who the hell owns that many games on Origin, esp. when there's steam?), or could have just fabricated this whole thing as a smear campaign. I don't care if you despise EA so much, don't be biased goon and start jumping to conclusions.
Of course, I'm not saying his faking it...but there's really little reason to his case.

Why the hell would EA purposely delete an account that contributed so much to them? On the other hand. there's no way someone could just hack and delete OP's account just like that either.

why did they do that?


According to him, EA claims he requested they delete his account, which he denies. Strangely when he asked to see the record of the request, they admit they don't have it. So I'm not sure how EA knows he made the request.

It's also incredibly fishy how OP can't even provide a single evidence of the chat info or exchange with EA. He claims they even deleted his case ID.
Like what the hell? That just raises eyebrows.

How come he can quote the entire conversation yet can't even screengrab it?

It's basically like Steam, except 90% of the games are from EA-owned studios or which were published by EA at one point.

So it's kind of weird that like someone said that he would have "thousands of dollars of games" on an account because ... there aren't really "thousands of dollars of games" to own there, considering I have 1,091 games on Steam and it's valued at $3153 $12144...

There's nothing wrong with Origin and for a long time many EA games were pretty decent, though they've really gone downhill in the last couple years (more rapidly than before I would say).

Digital distribution isn't going anywhere any time soon, either :\

it's a reason to fight for sensible digital distrubtion and rules about how you're allowed to control your digital goods

digital has a lot of advantages over physical and it would be a shame if people's main takeaway from this is that physical is the only solution

This is why I love GOG's mission statement. You buy the game, and you own it. You download the exe and all the install files, without any bullshit like cdkeys or linking it to your account. This allows you to backup digital copies of your game.

Also, physical for life. Fuck the purely digital marketplace.
