AGE RESTRICTION - EA SUCKS BIG TIME
Not only does EA tell me what games my kids can play, but they also make it impossible to disable the nag telling him to login to services he can't access in the first place. It's so annoying that h...

If you create a KID account, T,M,A rated games will not work. This is not EA, this is the law of the land. But I'm sure you don't believe me so just Google search COPA....matter of fact here's a link:

Next time read the fine print instead of rushing to your conclusions.

@Whoknew2014 - that's the whole point, censored //EA_Valgard.they KNOW he's too young to play yet keep prompting him to login for online services that he cant even use.
Next time think before rushing to troll.
- ApprovedChill bro. As a parent YOU should know that EA is not forcing your kids to do anything. This is for the protection of the kids. So instead of calling me names why don't you try reaching out to your Congress person to get this law changed or modified.
Still read that fine print in ALL you do and not just gaming.
On a side note I did NOT save 15 percent on my car insurance.- Approved
@Whoknew2014 - you obviously have no clue, so let me spell it out for you:
1) You're wrong. I can and have bypassed age restrictions on web surfing, apps and games across multiple platforms for my children WHEN I DECIDE AS A PARENT THAT THE CONTENT IS APPROPRIATE FOR THEM. By denying me that option, EA is, in fact, telling me what games my kids can and can't play.
EDIT: The FTC allows companies to get "verifiable consent" from parents to waive COPPA regulations regarding their kids' personal information:
https://www.ftc.gov/system/files/documents/plain-language/BUS84-coppa-6-steps.pdf
It has also approved several methods of gaining that consent, so EA really has no excuse other than simply being too cheap to implement:
Furthermore, COPPA restrictions apply to the exchange or display of identifying information -- as long as that information is not exchanged or displayed, they are in compliance with the act. That means obfuscating username, blocking access to chat, and hiding badges/accomplishments from other users and steps to make the servers COPA compliant....there is NO hard-set restriction in place.
2) I don't want to change any laws. I don't even want him to have access to online services. I just want to disable a nag
3) Try having kids before telling people how to be a parent, otherwise you end up sounding like a censored //EA_Valgard

Wow. Must have not read the fine print. Lol. Really? There are no children playing EA games online?
Question for the helpful EA person.... how do I redeem 90% of the price of my game since 90% of the game does not work?

EA has a refund policy. You can get a full refund within 24 hours of first launching the game. Of course, you need to have the PC version for this to apply.
