EA SPORTS FC™ TeamI suppose best way for us as a consumer to protect ourselves. Is whenever buying a digital game from a company where we have a game account where all the games we buy from them are linked under one account. Would be to create a new account whenever buying a new game. So no other game is linked to that account. Because we consumers have excellent online purchase protection. We may not be able to get a refund from company we purchase our products from. But our bank or credit agency absolutely will. Five minute phone call to them explaining situation and give them any supporting information such as links to sites or community forums. They will instantly credit your account. Also as banks and credit agencies don’t pay seller instantly for every transaction but every 28 days. It means we have 28 days to contact bank and get refund. So bank will notify seller that transaction has been withheld due to consumer complaints etc. Bank will also say to company as purchaser was not present don’t even bother trying to dispute the withheld payment.
So what’s having separate accounts got to do with anything? If EA is informed by bank that payment has been withheld. EA and all other game companies will permanently lock you out of your game account. So you obviously cannot play any game linked to same account:
They get us by making us and convincing us having all our games we buy from them linked under one account greatly benefits us. But it’s entirely for their benefit. To stop us from using the one thing we have that they have no defence against when it comes to online purchases.
I’ll miss my little silver star 🙄😂
Stop sniping at eachother. If you’re smarter than someone else. Then help them don’t kick them. All off you that have genuine grievances if You direct them to were the blames lies: you’ll all be pointing in the same direction.
