My entire EA account was just banned for my username. I just lost access to all EAPlay games on my PC game pass.

    The only thing I do not understand is that I was banned for referencing “Third Party Products” when you see TTV, YT, Kick and TikTok all the time in usernames and they are most certainly third party.

  2. AvD_MercT

    Instead of banning you they could just ask, or even force, you to change your username. Banning an account for that reason is stupid.

    You can try to speak with EA support to get unbanned, maybe they will change your nickname and u recover the account.

    Ea support it’s pretty good to resolve issues(if u get ur acc hijacked and someone cheats they won’t help)

    You know what they say about playing stupid games…

  5. hjadams123

    I am actually glad they banned you, you big dummy.

  6. Voigan_Again

    Did you read the EULA on account name restrictions? You can’t use a trademark in your name unless you own it.

    I really hope someone sues them. I’m pretty sure this is illegal at least in the EU

    This ISN’T what “Fuck around and find out” means, but also it is.

  9. How many suspensions do you have on your account prior?

    OP right now

    This is a bait and certainly not your first offense.

  12. Suc_Mydiq_Jr

    This is why physical copy > digital copy. But fr this is crazy you can give them money and they ban you with no prior warning.

    This literally happened to my friend when he started streaming Apex again. He simply issued a charge back on his card and got a majority of his money back. He started streaming and spent $500 on packs and got 3 heirlooms.

    Crazy that Apex will permanently ban players who spent so much money for something so stupid like this. He literally told the other guy to not use “insert slur here” and they both got banned. He even sent the vid of the event and Apex never responded.

    Find the comments defending this wild. Like this is some of the worst policy possible. I don’t care what the offense, basically showing that they don’t think you own the games you pay for.

    They could prompt a name change, suspend chat capabilities for a while to something else. But this is just pure bullshit.

    i love how reddit instant flames EA.

    if you think they perm banned him for a first time name offense you are delusional

  16. JohnJohn159

    This is incredibly based by EA. They could’ve just forced you to change your username I suppose.

  17. Big-Peace3639

    This is as smart as telling TSA that you have a bomb as a joke.

  18. SunsetCarcass

    Good. It’s a dumb account name for a kids game

  19. ReeceValve

    Don’t you find it absolutely disgusting that you buy a fake have every right to it and someone can take it off you

  20. ieatass805

    I’ll take shit that never happened for 500 Alex.

  21. Milkymight

    This is why I don’t spend money on a free cancerous game XD. F ea and digital games

  22. 0P3R4T10N

    Yeah that’s pornography and it’s a game aimed at young teens.That would be a de facto, no no.

    Why’d you do this?

  23. jo3l_miller

    As an R6 player i find that username as the most innocent username i have seen

  24. Gek_Lhar

    Do you plan on posting this to every semi relevant sub? This is clearly not your first ban either, is it?

  25. VVillPovver

    I’m sure I’ll be downvoted as well, but it really isn’t surprising and EA is not at fault here. Clearly, despite whatever Op tries to say, he has previous infractions.

    On top of this, what exactly do you all expect an organization to do? Would you walk into your favorite restaurant advertising your porn channel to everyone present? No. You’d be promptly removed as it’s in appropriate and an infraction on other people’s rights (surprise, everyone has them). Exposing children (who play apex) to porn is litigation EA likely wants to avoid.

    Short version: if you won’t/can’t do it in RL, most likely doing it online will have repurcussions as well.

    Stop pandering to this losers pity party.

  26. Fucking only fans garbage, shocker. Good job EA

  27. NoConsideration6934

    How dare you reference a third party product without EA receiving a cut. /s

  28. ArmoredAngel444

    Nah EA is wilding… they’ll do everything but actually fix their shitty game.

  29. breakzyx

    you know what? all that political correct corpo bullshit is so infinetly worse than getting death threats or anything similar. i hate the corporate internet. cant have fun. just buy product. dont even consoom. fuck EA.

  30. Your first mistake was playing EA’s games

  31. 2nd bullshit ban I’ve seen from EA in as many days.

    The other bloke lost his because he typed “stfu” into chat for Apex and, again, had his entire account stripped from him.

    If you don’t “own” these games after buying them, then piracy isn’t theft.

  32. GalaxyMan2472

    Not exactly sure what you expected you were def playing with fire from the get go.

  33. kerfuddled

    never got a warning and i got a 3 day ban for my STEAM name being nugget fucker. honestly it’s not my fault EA games don’t use the username you give them.

    when i went to actually see how long the ban was going to be i saw that about a year ago, when i wasn’t even playing apex my account was “sanctioned” for the same thing.

    their entire company can burn for all i care. having to change my steam name every time i play apex is ridiculous especially if im already logged into an EA with a name that fits their guidelines. i didnt even know i got banned the first time as i wasnt using the service.

  34. GNUGradyn

    I’m terrified of something like this happening to my steam account

  35. NvaderGir

    And here we are, complaining about how ‘EA = BAD?’ after probably the fourth suspension you received
