Yesterday, we reported that the EULA on the Sim City Beta had alarming language that made it sound like players would get banned from all EA games if they failed to report a bug. Today, an EA representative reached out to us and issued the following statements:
I sent a follow up asking for clarification, since it was obvious to me that players were scared at the possibility that EA would ban players. This was what I was told:
We have never taken away access to a player’s games for not reporting a bug, and quite simply it’s not something we would ever do. Players don’t have anything to be concerned about there—just some language that was far too broad in the original agreement, and is being updated now.
We don’t know what the EULA is being updated to, but it’s good to hear that (arguably) nefarious actions in one game won’t affect your enjoyment of all other EA titles.
