I honestly belive that they think even though you paid some hard earned cash for a piece of software, they still own it and therefore have the right to screw over gamers, again and again.
First they cripple games with DRM and now they think they should ban you from their games for, say, disagreeing with them on their forums. Now fair enough, if you’re forums are being hit hard then by all means ban the people responsible, but don’t add threats like this just to keep people from doing it in the first place. This can only end badly for EA.
Edit: Actually I’m curious now. With the way games like Spore work where the game is single player but stilll requires a login for EA’s DRM, does that mean you can be totally locked out of the game for a ban, or does it affect multiplayer only?

If you wanted spore I have a copy I could give you. Just can’t download content from other players but its still pretty good, still has 1000’s of objects and such.
“which in some cases would mean you would need to buy a new copy to play Spore”
It’s a money laundering thing… They just want more cash…
Indeed
