Why Is EA Blocking Shadow PC? This Needs to Change!

Post Body:

EA, why are you blocking paying customers from playing their games on Shadow PC? Your anti-cheat system falsely flags virtualized environments, which means that EA FC 25, Battlefield 2042, and other EA titles won’t even launch on Shadow PC.

This is completely unfair and anti-consumer. I paid for my games, and I should be able to play them on whatever system I choose. Shadow PC is not a cheat tool, it’s a legitimate cloud gaming service that many gamers use because they don’t have high-end gaming PCs.

EA Needs to Fix This

  • Other cloud gaming platforms work (like GeForce Now), so why is Shadow PC unfairly blocked?
  • Not everyone has a high-end PC, and Shadow PC is their only option for gaming.
  • Your anti-cheat system is overblocking and punishing legit players.

I want a real response from EA. Why is this happening, and will it ever be fixed? Stop punishing paying customers for using a legit cloud PC service.

EA needs to either:

  1. Stop blocking Shadow PC users.
  2. Give us a way to prove we aren’t cheating.
  3. At least acknowledge this issue instead of ignoring it.

I expect an actual answer, not a generic “Shadow PC is not supported” response. This needs to change.

    When I bought the game, it worked on shadow? Is it legal to block it after I paid for it?

    It's even blocking the sims. You can't even cheat there.  I've been a sims playing for the whole 25 years and I have purchased every single pack. So this is a bit annoying that I can't load the game.
