To me , this is possibly illegal, or downright corruption all due to change of name and ownership. It's like buying a car, then being told you can't use it if another company buys the car maker. Wankers!

You can always steal what you already own off torrents but that doesn't fix the fact that EA (Origin) sucks as a company. EAs Q&A Not all titles are supported at this time, but we are continually working to add support for titles. Older games such as BF2 use an older type of code that we are still working to support. http://support.ea.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/5291/showhome/true If EA was a decent company they would have left the old store up until they got it working, but EA has always done things at the clients expense.

I think the same Sonovabich Same thing has happened with Steam, we all know about it, i still don't see his point, does this mean none of us will buy BF3 no of course not, millions of us will still be shelling out for it as soon as it is released, can't believe we still get shocked when these big companies rip us off Sry, i personnaly didn't know... I just found ironic (fun or not) to lost your game after paid it, just cause the company is sold, not really decent like WIMMPYIII said. I know we're fucked sob but i (always) find that amazing... was just the point, sry for having disturbed you m8 Anyway, BF3 will be good Awards

You never owned it never. Here's the one from Black Ops was the closest to me LIMITED USE LICENSE.

Wow SOB you ran a pretty strong smear campaign against BlackOps. So its just the games you like that we don't take a stance against?

It sucks ass, but it's not illegal. I think Steam is a better system than Origin, but as was said earlier, the same thing happened when Steam rolled out. My guess is that more and more games will be added as time goes on. Get used to it. This is the way gaming is going to be from now on as even your physical copy of the game has to be tied to an online service. These services save the publishers a crapload of money, and that's all they're really interested in. As long as millions of people buy their games, they'll get away with whatever they can.
