Reconciliation Plan!?

Most probably we have all "agreed" to the ToS of the app and most probably there's a cute paragraph saying pretty much that CG can do whatever they want, however they want. If we bring "legal" into that, we're screwed so let's not. This is a matter of ethics and responsibility. The provider of a service screwed up the service based on what their intentions were, and they punish the customers/users of the base.

Furthermore, since you rapidly pivoted to the "responsibility and ethics" of the situation in order to deflect from how wrong you are, there are no laws compelling EA to let you keep characters, ships, shards, or currency that you acquired in the game due to a bug or unintended mechanic. In fact, EA is probably within their legal right to do whatever they're planning on doing, because they're going to make sure that whatever they do is supported by the TOS that we all agreed to when we first started playing the game. If you disagree with what they do, your only option, literally, is to quit playing.

Did you just decide to paraphrase what I wrote about the ToS and the legal coverage they have and use it as an argument against me? Get out of the cave man... What they do is unethical because they refuse to take responsibility of their actions and they burden the players instead. I never said the decision about malak was illegal.

If you spent real world currency, specifically for the purpose of gearing characters in order to beat the event, or if you spent real world currency in order to gear Malak once you unlocked him, you probably *could* request a refund for all monies spent from the time the event was started until the time it was yanked, but that's about it.

Could is the wrong tense. You can. Especially whatever was purchased in the last week. Bypass ea and go straight to gp/iTunes. You'll get it.
