@JerrySkidd HWID bans are becoming the norm in the gaming world. Anyone can now spoof an IP with a simple VPN which a lot of people do run now. So when they hit with HWID bans this actually stops them from access EA games to just cheat some more or abuse in the chat you can speak with players. They do not wish to have those players ruining the experience of others because they chose to not play a game properly. So with that this is why I feel HWID bans are made.
