Player banned from Dragon Age 2 sea 'accidentally' loses access t' entire game
There be bans, 'n then there be bans. One user a BioWare's seas found himself facing one a the latter after having his account suspended for allegedly using inappropriate language in a post -- but instead a just keeping the sea dog from socializing temporarily, it prevented his PC copy a Dragon Age 2, purchased online, from running entirely.
EA has acknowledged that this actually happened t' the affected user, but calls it an error. While it says it intended t' temporarily ban the individual for violating the sea code a conduct, "there be an error in the system that accidentally suspended a user's entire account."
"Immediately upon learning a the glitch, EA took steps t' restore the user's macro account 'n apologized for the inconvenience," the publisher told Joystiq. What it didn't say be what -- if any -- steps be being taken t' prevent similar mega-bans from happening in the future.
