So I love how the admin response is like Tough Crap / End of line.  Classic Tron overlord reference then has the whole Zen Bill and Ted be excellent to each other.  What a bunch @ holes

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.

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.

I like how the account ban stemming from his contents about EA being the devil actually reaffirms his position about EA being the devil.

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.
