I got caught up in it. At this point I have no respect for the company. This was one of my favorite games to play but I refuse to touch any EA products anymore. I only hope they unban me so I can officially delete my account.
Edit: After going through 12 emails, with 6 consecutive different associates, In which 5/6 asked me for verification that I owned the account instead of actually progressing the case - I finally reached someone who helped. I submitted a request on the site and am waiting back to get confirmation my data was deleted.
The email chain went like this: Assistant 1: Requests verification code and asks if I want to exercise my right to be forgotten Me: (verifies and confirms) Assistant 2: Sends a disclaimer and asks me to confirm Me: (confirms) Assistant 3: Asks if it’s for this account, if there are any others. Me: (confirms) Assistant 4: Requests verification again and asks if I am trying to exercise my right to be forgotten. Me: (confirms) Assistant 5: Requests verification code and asks me if I have any mobile games. Me: (confirms and answers no) Assistant 6: Requests verification code again. Asks if I am exercising my right to be forgotten. Me: (says I’m not confirming any more and to delete my damn data according to the GDPR)
Right after that someone contacts me that they are looking into it. Eventually I get an email with a link to the help site that asks me to to confirm my email I follow through, request a deletion and it says to wait a couple days for a confirmation email.
I also receive another email from another associate shortly after (#7) asking me to confirm that I want to request my data is deleted.
A fuckin’ nightmare.
EA ruin my favorite gaming franchise: Battlefield
Or DICE did under the supervision of the geniuses over at EA.
Now I will never get to play another Battlefield game...
So yeah, it's better to stay away from EA products.
Seems like EA doesn't want to make games anymore. Folks should oblige them.
That's rOSist... Have they indicated specifically which point of ToS was broken? Did they give any details?
