Hi,
Contacting support for this matter would not be useful, as we do not allow transferring a game from an account to another.
Thank you for your understanding.

Why do you assume that people automatically understand? What you are doing is preventing us from retaining any value from a purchase in hopes of making people buy games many times rather than being able to share. i.e. I get over a game and buy the newest edition, would rather not waste the old one that I never play. I could give it to someone who WOULD play it, enjoy it, and possibly be convinced of buying the newest version as well. Now you could have a new customer based on a game that was going to be totally wasted. Instead, smart people can see your system as a capitalistic attempt to maximize profits at the expensive of customer service and appreitation. You have every right to make that choice as a business, and you will also try to market as always being PERFECT for customers, but in this specific case, your actions suggest capital over the interest of your consumer. I would like to understand why you think this is in the best interest of your company in the long run...
I just found this port, you are able to do it, I think they have a way to actually link the accounts now. But in this post it was done from the EA member http://forum.ea.com/eaforum/posts/list/340021.page
you are so right, they dont make it clear at all that you cannot use pre-owned games anymore either, ive spent a whole day trying to sort out an issue that shoudlnt have been there in the first place. 2 years ago you didnt even need origin to dowloadf a game that comes already on a disc, to its just scamming good people out of money they dont really have in the first place. Ridiculous

I could not agree with you more. EA has not only found a way to stop piracy, which is good, but have found a way to maximise profits and sales at the expense of loyal customers. Our games are purchased by us, and we should be able to use them as we wish, not as Origin wishes.
Exactly. I have always been a loyal supporter of EA right back when I played my first EA game when it was released - 007 Nightfire. And that was a long time ago. Back when you BOUGHT a game - you got to keep the actual game, and not just the limited privilege to play it.
