Verification Gmail problem

About two months ago, I realized I can't play any more EA games, including this one, as when I try to open it, it asks me to verify myself by getting a code sent to an email or a phone number, which I do not recognize nor do have access to. I don't even know the full email. When I tried to speak to people about this, I have spoken to five separate people over the course of multiple days, different times, giving me the same exact solution, which has never worked, no matter how many times I tell them it's not going to work. They try it. When it doesn't work, they leave and tell me to try again later with someone else. They tell me to give them my Xbox gamer tag, which I do, and to go on any EA game and that a pop-up will happen where I can fix this issue. It has never happened, and every time I try to talk to someone, they simply do this no matter what, no matter how many times I tell them that it is not working. And when I try to say that I would like to go and talk to someone higher up about solving this issue because clearly they have no solutions for me, they are rude, tell me I'm not doing it correctly in a very patronizing way, and one time even copy-pasted a message which clearly wasn't meant for me, which was instructions on them on how to deal with me. Some have ended the chat abruptly after saying there's literally nothing more to do after only five minutes of my time and refuse, saying that there's no one higher up I could possibly speak to about this issue, so there is literally nothing I can do. I will never be able to play an EA game because I cannot talk to anyone else about this, and when I talk to them, they simply tell me to do the exact same solution, which has never worked five times in a row on the same day after spending hours of my time trying to carefully explain to them my issue. This issue still persists, and if someone's solution is for me to go and explain this to a virtual chat, I will not do it. I have never been treated so rudely in my life from customer service. Never have I had such messages insinuating that I was dumb so many times when I have carefully explained the situation, where they have ignored me when I said I don't know what the email is, only to ask me to log in with the email and say forget my password when I told them I don't know the email. Multiple times stuff like this keeps happening, and there seems to be no phone number, no email that I can go to to get a real solution, apart from talking to the exact same people over and over again.

    Hey HarrisFFA​,

    Thanks for sharing the details about this situation you've been running into. If you no longer have access to the email registered to your EA account, and aren't even sure of the full email itself, the only way to recover this would be through support.

    I definitely understand you've already tried this multiple times without any luck and you've been told to repeat the same steps over and over again. There is not a phone number, and any email options would go through the same support team, who would need to verify the same account information before any details could be updated.

    The option(s) presented at the end of this process to create a new case would be the only way to get in touch with that team, unfortunately we're not able to make any changes for you via the forums.

    If this is linked to an email you don't recognize, the one suggestion I'd have would be to create the case as a Compromised Account issue, rather than just under general login issues. If that email was changed, the support team would need to try and verify some separate details about the account that may be more feasible than trying the console verification method that already hasn't worked on multiple occasions.
