I am getting this same issue on Xbox. It appears previously EA generated their own emails to use for EA accounts when you played on xbox I tried to link my EA account and get this message (attached image). Look at that email 😂 no account I have ever owned now my Xbox account is permanently locked out of any EA games.
I am having the same issue I can’t tell if I account was deleted by EA or what, and if I go now to link my actual account it says THAT account is already linked and I can’t access THAT account, actually disgusting glad I didn’t buy yet
