Hi, you can't sell your account.

If you check the terms of service you can look at section 6: Rules of Conduct

Thank you for the question.

People hack your account and change your password and email anyway and you do nothing about it so why can't we sell them?

If people sold games on their account, it would most likely be cheeper than EA's price. Therefor, people would stop buying directly from EA and buy them used. In that case, EA would make less money so for them to get richer, they restrict the consumer from selling his or her used games

  If you want to play games without buying them you have the option to get a subscription to things like Origin access, and pay less than the price for a whole game 🙂
  
  I think games are very price worthy if we play the games a lot. I can buy 4 pizza (Sweden) for the price of a standard game (40$), and I've played several games for like 200-700 hours. The pizzas last like 30 min each.. Also I cannot sell the pizzas to anyone else when I do not want them anymore either. 😉
