90 Day Warranty (refund)

So obviously I have tried every other avenue and have gotten nowhere. So I need to know how to get my money back for this game. On your website it states:

We warrant to the original purchaser of an EA product that the product is free from defects in both materials and workmanship for 90 days from the day you bought it.

If the product is found to be defective within those 90 days, please return it to the original retailer together with proof of purchase. 

Here is the problem, the Playstation store only guarantees the game is able to be properly downloaded, so they said I must go through the game developer for a refund.

Now I would say that given the state of this game "defects in workmanship" would apply to the 90 warranty. 

I need to know how to get my money back please....Unless you want to give details on if or when any of these issues will be resolved.

  • I have documented all interactions thus far regarding my attempt to get a refund for this game including screenshots of this post to prove I did not violate any rules. I have exhausted every single option on the EA Help website and have not gotten any assistance. Please do not delete this post. I have done nothing wrong. EA is in breach of the warranty and therefore breaking the law. I am entitled to a refund unless you can prove to me I am wrong.

    For once, please just do the right thing. Either fix the game or give me my money back. I don't want to have to take this any further, but am 100% prepared to. 

  • Also, when trying to chat with a representative regarding a refund, the steps you need to take are non-existent as option 6 is not there. Why? You are making it impossible to get a refund within 90 days.

    If you believe you’re entitled to a refund from EA, contact us before submitting a chargeback:

    1. On the EA Help homepage, enter the title of your game into the search bar.
    2. Choose the game you need help with from the search results.
    3. Choose See all help topics.
    4. Choose the Orders category.
    5. Choose I want a refund.
    6. Choose the available option to connect with an EA Advisor.

    To prevent fraud, we automatically lock any account where a chargeback is requested.

    If your account is locked due to suspected fraud, we’ll send you an email with more information, including how to contact us if you think your account has been locked by mistake.

  • here is the 90 day warranty information page:

    This warranty does not apply to discs that have been damaged by you through accident, misuse, or excessive use.
