EA account won't let me download games

Product: The EA app
Platform:PC
Error Report ID (learn how to create an Error Report ID in the sticky post)
Which client functionality are you experiencing this bug with? Download Game
When did this happen? (dd.mm.yy hh:mm) March 18, 2023
Summarize your bug My EA account won't let me download any games but when I use another EA account it will. But I want to use my real EA account becasue that's where I spent money to buy the games on and I'm not buying it again.
How often does the bug occur? Every time (100%)
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? By going on my account.
What happens when the bug occurs? It won't let me download any games it gives me an error everytime I try to download
What do you expect to see? I expect to see this fixed becasue it's been 4 weeks and I have 11 cases and you all keep emailing me surveys and not actual help.

 Something is wrong with my account, its not letting me download any games its been happening for 4 weeks now and ive contacted EA  and microsoft about this several times. I tried using a different ea account to download the sims 4 it was working but I want to use my main account because thats where all the addons for my sims 4 game is on and im not spending $500 on addons again just because the account isnt working. Also please help me becasue EA hasn't been emailing me back they keep emailed "thank you surverys" like no one has actually contacted or helped me so please dont tell me to contact EA because they truly are NOT helping I feel like they don't want to help because this is my 11th cases about this for 4 weeks going on 5 soon.

    Hi there, @gothboy_23 

    For help with account related issues, please contact an advisor by opening a case here. Thanks!

  • i just said they arent helping this is my 11th case and they just keeping emailing me the survey and not actually doing anything......................................................................

  • They told me to do the live chat but I can't because the live chat option button isn't showing. I tried using a different device and browser and it still didn't show. It's been like this for a few days too.

    What options are you choosing when opening the case? Not all of them support chat. You should be choosing technical support or manage my account.

    I see you've already got quite a few cases open. It would be best to wait for a response. There's also one from the 17th where they are waiting to get a response from you.

  • yeah they finally responded today but they told me to do the live chat but I can't becasue there is no option.

    Let them know it's not available. I'm not sure they can do anything about that, but it would be good to ask.

  • yeah i emailed them back and told them im still waiting for a response
