    They weren't forced to do anything, and they would be well within their rights to cancel and refund all the orders as most companies do.

    They won't ban anyone, it's like an advertisement expenditure to increase their install base. Those games long recovered their cost and will pay for themselves when people buy more games from them.

    Pretty stupid system though, it's actually accepting my address as "1 Infinite Loop CUPERTINO CA 95014" :D Site's down, getting hammered big time :p

    Haul so far : Mass Effect 1, DAO, DAO awakening, DA2, BC2 & Mirror's Edge. Totally unexpected :D

    It rejected my promo code, either it's over or they're doing ip checks now.

    The code doesn't work anymore. I just tried with a proxy and got denied.

    Quick update: Even though the deal has ended, all my guys are functioning flawlessly.

    I'll report back here if they do start banning.

    What i find fun is, people are actully praising people and asking for custom titles due to posting an expoit to basically steal games (yes, using an exploit to get round the system is stealing), and on top of this, these very same people ruined a deal for legit people who actully did the survey.

    Sure, give them a custom title.:bang:

    Excuse me, it's not stealing.

    They left the door wide open to use this code to get items. This is the equivalent of leaving boxes of gold in the middle of the street with no owner in sight and expecting no one to take them .

    Ahh ok then, i'll just pop round and grab my neighbours TV - it's not stealing as she left the keys in the door (that's much more fitting than what you said).

    It's theft, you know it, i know it and i recon nearly anyone would know it - your just trying to justify it because you did it (quite a lot).

    No it's not.

    I did not TAKE anything, EA still has the original games sitting nicely in their server. So stop the nonsense examples. This is like the cable service giving you several free packages despite you ordering only one.

    Well fair game to you then.

    It's not like I would have bought any of the games using Origin otherwise, I had no reason to even touch the service previously. At least now I might end up giving EA money in a future purchase (probably BF3).

    Again, YOU did this, not EA - EA didn't just send you a bunch of free games (like your trying to state with the cable thing), you took the effort to use an exploit to get them.

    Simply put, you stole and you did infact TAKE.

    You say my example is nonsence?, your the one trying to justify stealing.
    ---
    Sorry, your not going to convince me that you are in the right on this, you stole and i recon you know you did.

    Anyways, i better leave the thread because i'd get banned for stating what i really think.

    Good, so keep it to yourself. Not everyone has to share your moral sensibilities.

    Exploiting the system its the same as piracy, you get the game for free using someway which is not allowed by the company, except is old games, but also you will waste their server resources.
