I've just been in contact with EA customer services several times. They have blocked my access to my expansions that I bought and paid for, I will never get my paid for registration codes back.
EA seems to have had a crack down on digitally purchased or pre-owned purchased games. All in time for them to charge brand new game prices for 9 year old games.
Seems to be getting them more money in, whilst sims 4 remains not so popular a game as expected.
Probably a money making scheme on EAs part.
I have played sims since The Sims came out. I have spent hundreds on their products (as most players have) and this is how they repay their customers. Blocking their accounts because they purchased pre-owned games. Mainly because the games were old and the new game had been released, who wants to pay large amounts for old games?
I own sims4 and play it also, but I am not falling for their scam of paying £29.99 for a 9 year old game, especially as I bought a pre-owned copy already.
So if I replace my stolen expansions with another pre-owned version from a trusted seller, who is say that in two years time EA will decide that it's now TOS violation to do so resulting in more players out of pocket.
Massive EA scam.
