New account banned after playing It Takes Two

I recently bought It Takes Two on the Nintendo Switch store without realizing that it'd require an EA account to play. Ok, no problem. I created an EA account and played with my friend for a few hours. The next time we tried to play, I got a notice that my account was banned. My account was banned 3 days after the initial creation and play session.

The portal has a ban reason section, but it's empty in my case. I opened a dispute and I got a generic reply (check the user agreement and terms of sale.) As far as I can tell I'm not in violation of anything and I only used the account to play with my friend. The case that I opened is marked as "declined" and I can't do anything more with it.

Has anyone else found a way to solve this? I see other cases of this occurring on the Internet but no real resolutions detailed. It's crazy to me that a company so quickly bans a paying customer and won't provide any path to resolution or a reason. This has left a real sour taste in my mouth regarding EA.

  • Also: I do not believe my account has been "hacked." I use a password manager with strong unique passwords for every service that I use. I take OpSec very seriously.

  • As I said in my original message, I did open up a dispute. I have no clue as to how I could have violated their user agreement and they refuse to provide any details (quote from my second case below.)

    It's unbelievable that a company treats legitimate customers this way. This company will not be able to sustain itself if it continues to treat customers in this manner. I will never buy another EA game after this terrible experience. I hope I can get a refund from Nintendo.
