Ya see ... notice to close the >GAME servers< is to be posted ... right?
only fair ... keeps you from paying for a month -on the last day-

Current situation is backwards of that ...
their account services software BROKE ... and you cannot Pay in ... ya want to, ya have the money to, can't << their fault
The GAME servers are up and running right?
THEY have to eat the loss of income ... like turning on Return to Brit was recently done
they need to turn the RTB BACK ON ... while THEIR account servers are down ...

>Their process muffed< and eveyone (most) was getting in free >anyways<
Can't (should not) "back bill you" For Their failure to accept payment ...

slosh it around alittle bit ...
Certain Factions are bound to ask for "Comp time" ... "Free Time" ... "Apology time"

Be nice and proactive EA ...
Get out in front of this BEFORE certain factions start demanding it ...

Bonus point: It IS the right thang todo ...

toodooloo ... /done

Free Time? No

Freebie? Yes. Like a unique mount for everyone paying during this period.

Funny though how 99% of the *retired* titles are sports?

99% of retired titles do not bring in monthly income to EA.

That they are release a new game every season so that they can swap the jerseys and player numbers around and slap a $59.95 price tag on it and sell it to the same people who have bought the previous 7 years worth of basically the same game.

My brother-in-law is one of those people who buys several of the sports games every single year even though I don't see much of a difference between them from year to year even other than new jerseys or new player numbers . There must be 30 of those games across several sports and leagues just collecting dust in his TV cabinet.

Yep I used to be one of those too but now EA Sports is console only. EA has stopped making Madden and Tiger for the PC.
