Xbox Game Pass vs EA account disaster
Hear me out and let me know if I'm being unreasonable here. I have a long running EA account (like 7 years with countless games bought etc) that at some point, several years ago, I linked to a temp...

I'm in the same boat. I found that I had an old xbox 360 account I hadn't used in 5 years linked to my EA account. Unlinked thinking I could just link to my newer Gamepass account. Little did I know the drama to entail!
It's an ancient policy that needs to be updated to reflect today, where people can freely move accounts. Being forced to create a new EA account and lose all progress is a pathetic resolution.
So what's the solution here, just make a new account for Game Pass? How am i supposed to trust a service like this -bugged even before starting- and spend money on your platform?
Unfortunatly that's the only work around their giving us right now. Have to create a seperate account from your main EA account just to make a successful Game Pass-EA Play link. It's an annoying hassel and they should update their policy to remove this one Xbox account for the lifetime restriction.
Sure, but what happens when they fix this lunacy. You then have to hope they have the system in place, to let you unlink from your burner EA account and re-link to your correct one.
I would bet money there will be some arbitrary rule in place to prevent that.
"I'm sorry you have to wait 6 months to re-link blah blah..."
The fact that their CS reps don't have the tools to do this for us, makes me think they found a hairline fracture exploit and decided to fix it with a hammer.
