It's my understanding that nonauthorized sellers can sell legit codes... It's the people who make large purchases of "legit codes" with a stolen credit card and quickly sell those codes to sites like empiregaming. Then the fraudulent charges are caught and a chargeback happens. EA may then void these codes and possibly lock the account even if they were legit but were purchased with a stolen card. I'm not saying all these codes have been sold this way, but some of them could have been obtained this way.
So I've made the personal decision to stop purchasing from nonauthorized sellers for any game no matter what reviews say. Both Origin and Steam accounts can be locked if you get tangled in this kind of mess. It's really you that suffers in the end, not the seller. Not worth risking your account. It can take time for a code to be voided or you really did get a legit code and nothing happens but there's no way of telling.
I just installed my backup copy of BB world and it installed as Object. In fact, so did Lucky Palms & Dragon Valley. But they all work so I agree with ciane, have you tried playing BB yet?
