No No No...read the kotaku article. It sums it up nicely...the Point is: Who cares why he was banned on the forums, why do they have the ability/power to block you from downloading a single player game you already purchased.

It is also an isolated case. Where if he already had the game downloaded and installed it wouldn't have affected him.

Post by: vincegun on March 11, 2011, 11:14:56 AM: Yeah, I read that. Total B.S. Now comes the hard part..... EA publishes, but DICE creates. HMMMM. Thankfully, I'm NEVER going to buy over EA's digital service. Steam or the physical disc, the end.

Post by: The Shoctor on March 11, 2011, 11:43:05 AM: I will cry cry. But I guess if you have it downloaded and installed offline mode is for us. Still QQing though.

Post by: vincegun on March 11, 2011, 09:06:21 PM: Just found out that his "ban" has been lifted to an extent. He can now play his single player game just fine. Apparently it was due to an "error" or some other crap excuse.
