...something called "EA Tools"
Flawed logic. EA said the action was a MISTAKE and they CORRECTED the mistake.
oh? Weren't you saying this is their right? that we are stupid to even question it? Now its a "mistake"?

Yes, lets buy the explanation from the company that's trying to do damage control. Jesus, reading the past few pages, are you an employee of EA or something?
I am pretty sure the "we reserve the right to revoke license of this product at any time" part of the EULA will not hold up in court. It doesn't matter if you agree to it or not, because as far as law goes, you cannot be bound to an illegal contract. You can agree to anything contract you'd like, but if it contains illegal terms, it is void.
If you're so convinced that you're right, feel free to click the Class Action Lawsuit link earlier in this thread and get it started.
You'll be rich.
Come on, do it. If you're right, what's to lose?

EA didn't "do this" though. It was a system malfunction.
Your Steam account and Steam forum account are totally separated. You can be banned on their forums and it does not effect your account with the games.
You aren't the first moron to make that illogical jump to my being an EA employee.
However, I'm disappointed that Anandtech has such a large number of ignorant gamers among their ranks. Sure, a couple are to be expected, but people in this thread seem only to turn their brains on when it comes time to throw insults my way. It's the whole mob mentality thing taking over.
If EA intended to block him from their services, they'd do so and leave it. They wouldn't have called it a mistake. There would be more than just this one guy in this situation (because EA's forums are full of hate-slinging 8 year old trolls).
Use your head.
Yes, because malfunctions don't ever happen, right?
Are you fucking listening to yourself?
The forum account is directly tied to the gaming account. They are one and the same.
Nothing malfunctioned.
Then why hasn't anyone else who's been banned from the forums also lost their gaming accounts?
Why is this the first time we're hearing about it?
Because it was a mistake, you meathead.
Has this ever happened to anyone else?
No?
Then there's no reason to take EA's PR bit as anything other than face value. People bitch on /r/games and reddit about anything and everything they don't like about games and their manufacturers. This isn't the first time EA's been under fire for their practices and it won't be the last. EA isn't the only company that gets belittled on such services either.
Believing that EA "broke under pressure" is a conclusion that cannot logically be drawn. There's absolutely no reason to believe that.

And this is why I have Nik on ignore. Constantly cussing and insulting others. Poor angry kid, and it's too bad he's bringing the troll shit from OT to other sections here. You have serious life issues if you feel the need to insult someone that you've never met with literally every single forum post.
Where's the list of people who've been banned from their games because they were a dick on the forums?
Where's all the news stories?
Where.
