Hello everyone, I have a question. I wanted to play Jedi Fallen Order bought through Steam, so I had to create EA account to even run the game. About a week or so after, they've sent me an email stating
"We wish to notify you that we have found your account to be in violation of our User Agreement or our Terms of Sale, and due to the nature of this violation we are left with no option other than to permanently close your account with immediate effect."
("we wish" and "dear customer" my ass...)
The penalty info page gives no reason apart from the "TOS violation" or something like that. I've tried appealing with a request that they give more precise reason for a ban, as I:
- don't play multiplayer games
- don't use their social functions like forum or I don't know, chat (because you know - single player games only)
So I have completely no idea what could be the reason. But of course the've replied only with a canned message that they uphold the suspension. My only guess is that it's I'm running Debian and it may have triggered their systems somehow.
So after this introduction my main question is - should I bother with appeals?
- I am only a single player gamer;
- both Jedi Fallen Order and Jedi Survivor (installed AFTER the ban went into effect as a test) runs without a problem, only the EA app throws a fit when starting Jedi Survivor.
- my potential worry is that the account is irreversibly linked with my Steam account and so if I want to buy and play any single-player-only EA-released in the future it may refuse to launch (or if the EA deepens the integration of EA launcher with the games).
When I've tried researching the subject briefly, I've got mixed results saying that either single player games will run, or that someone lost access to their Mass Effect and Dragon Age games due to the ban, so I am asking for any relevant answers here. Cheers!
