The mystery of subscriptions:
I'm a long time STEAM-user (1st account), started playing SWTOR (2nd account) in October 2022. Bought CC-packs and a SWTOR-subscription in December 2022 and January 2023 via STEAM-wallet without problems. Prolonging my subscription in February 2023 failed. This situation was already fixed by Support.
I understand, that the moment I created my SWTOR-account an additional EA-account (3rd account) was created (without me beeing aware of this?). I understand, the subscription in February failed due to a period (of 3 month?) of inactivity in that additional EA-account, based on some 'data security'-regulations. In the process of fixing, I learned, that since 2019 the SWTOR-account and its additional/linked EA-account don't synchronize (as it was before). I was told, that I am currently not supposed to log into that additional EA-account. I was asked Instead to periodically log into another dormant account of mine, that was previously used by/with ORIGIN (4th account).
Why is that? What's the reason for this? Why do I need a 4th account for something that either should get handled by SWTOR alone or in my case should be handled between SWTOR and STEAM. How come, activity in my Origin-account signals an status update to the SWTOR/EA-accounts especially in light of privacy rules / 'data protection'?
