These are the same assholes that when they bought Bioware, they shut down bioware’s own official website where you were encouraged to store your game keys (for NWN, Jade Empire, SOTOR, etc) without informing any of its users that it was closing, and that your keys were going to be deleted, and then when you complained about it they just told you to buy the games again.

I have the opportunity to repurchase a game I am literally holding right now but can’t play? Hooray.
You can play it if you had the proper old hardware. Just dont connect that PC online.

Of course. It’s EA we’re talking about.
