EA Help @eahelp
We're having some problems with answers.ea.com so you might have trouble connecting. We're working on it and we'll keep you updated. - Yeah... the EA forums need a serious upgrade. They could switch to ProBoards!

And so there's no ambiguity, we all remember the bit we signed up to: "EA may terminate your EA Account if you violate this Agreement or any of the Alpha Agreement Terms."Yes?

Next scheduled test session is 3pm CT/4pm ET. About 3 hours from now. Isn't it 2pm CT / 3pm ET ? You are correct. I need to read times better. Oy, been a long week, it's showing now.

Well, a certain someone on twitch got their Origin library wiped for streaming the alpha. Not sure what they expected lol Would love links/confirmation of this. Pleased to see them put some teeth behind the NDA, though kind of an IQ fail on the part of the idiot that streamed. EDIT: Nevermind, caught up with the thread. Thanks Hrungr and SJ! Now that I see the video, I'm thinking there's a good chance the streamer did on purpose for lulz, expecting to just be banned, but maybe hadn't counted on losing their library ...

Well, cool. I totally thought the next session didn't start until an hour later than it actually does meaning... I can sneak another hour in before having to get dressed for the husband's-side-of-the-family early Christmas dinner tonight. Also means BioWare will officially get their first data from a slightly tipsy user, since one does not go into that sort of dinner situation entirely sober. *Drunk Turian Sentinel activate*

Whoopsy. This is why I don't like DRM. Forget whether you think they deserve this or not, the ability for companies to delete your entire library at a whim is yet another slippery slope I don't want to head down.

I agree with the sentiment, but not the reality. The NDA is a legally binding contract. Was the user the age of reason is a legitimate question - if they were an "adult", then this is just how business is done. I am not an EA fan. At all. But they covered their ass. This individual is either a child or an idiot, possibly both.

In this case you can make an argument that the punishment is fair, but I'm uncomfortable with the precedent and where this can lead.

While, yes, a library being deleted is harsh, this is our current reality. Even games on disc have usually online components, so you are tied by umbilical cord to the developers.
Don’t want your library deleted? Don’t breaks NDA. Or don’t participate in the alpha.

Don’t want your library deleted? Don’t breaks NDA. Or don’t participate in the alpha. I look forward to our future, where harsh criticisms of companies and offensive language delivered at other players is considered an account deleting offense. It won't be just a matter of Battlefield 5 censoring stuff like talking about DLCs in the chat, or the word "Nazis" in a game where you're actually shooting nazis. Because the next step up from censorship is punishment, and now companies hold your entire library of games hostage.

In this case you can make an argument that the punishment is fair, but I'm uncomfortable with the precedent and where this can lead. if they take you to court your talking about tens of thousands of dollars in fees so i'd call it a learning experience and move on realising just how lucky I got in the terms of this actual event I wouldn't be surprised if EA had one of their employees do this as a marketing stunt to prove how serious they are, since it clearly states they can terminate your account, having just your games removed instead of being banned from origin seems a very lightweight move in terms of enforcing the NDA agreement, in this actual case as shown on the video, the user could simply purchase the $15/mth access premier option and start playing whatever game they like since their actual origin account isnt banned which makes it a very cheap option all round even if they wont allow them to have alpha or beta access to this or other games in the future (but as I said already I suspect it was an employee since they couldn't possibly have deleted his games from his hard drive that fast without a popup on screen)

Well, let's be honest.
If anyone streams the game, there will be some scumbag YouTuber (or even a professional gaming journalist) who'll present footage from the alpha as being representative of the final game, if not misrepresenting said footage as the final game. Andromeda proved that lowlifes pandering to the anti-BioWare crowd have literally no moral objections to manipulating and misrepresenting game footage for the sake of "women are 'ugly' in this game reeeeeeee"
If anyone wants to break their NDA, especially as an attempt to harm the game, then screw 'em. They knew -- or should have known -- what they were signing up for.
