Re: Game won't start via EA App due to faulty activation

I also have issue with my copy of Plants vs. Zombies.
What I also noticed that the EA client displays it as "Standard Edition owned", whereas I have purchased the GOTY back in 2019; so this could be an issue. I have never owned the Standard Edition prior to the GOTY, so it can't even be a mixup. I could play this up until at least this year's March at least, haven't played since. Could this be the case with your copy of PvZ and Mass Effect 3 as well?
(note: all other games I have purchased have the correct edition tags and these work normally, accepted my Origin account login details etc, only PvZ has failed).
