Want To Get BF4 PC Platform & Play
I will help you understand all this, first lets start with this... I Have Seen In a Forum, About Some Online Library? & Vault? and If Your Membership Expires So Does Your Playing... That is for console and not PC so not a issue for a PC gamer.
Next best to buy from origin as I have seen people post on Answers HQ and have issues with game keys and EA/ Origin cant help them and meh issues with returns etc for them. See this link to buy the game and with Premium Edition you get all maps and the game best deal.

Once you buy the game you download it from your Origin account, now lets say you need to format your pc not a issue. Once you have windows back in and all set up drivers updates etc then install origin and log into your origin account. Then hit the games tab in origin and you can download your BF4 game again.
Edit.. Just to give you a heads up BF4 is played in a browser and you will need to install a browser plug in for BF4. Just be sure the browser does not block it, just watch top left or right of browser for a x or something showing allow or its being blocked. Any issues just ask :womanwink:
I will give you settings to keep your account safe from hackers and I will give you settings for BF4 once you have it installed. Us old kids need to stick together and I am more then happy to help you with anything so any questions just ask.
