I’ve been getting into mass effect trilogy finally, and since I don’t own a gaming pc, I like to play through GeForce Now.
Well, just now I had some things come up a couple of times a row and I quit my game a few times, and now I can’t continue because of some sort of lock mechanism against playing on multiple computers…?
Did not know this is a thing, but I have a few vacation days and wanted to get this series properly started, so it’s a little bit annoying. Who knows how long I have to wait?
Ugh…
Edit:
Talking with EA support, they informed me that the wait is 24 hours. Jesus christ that is long for something like this. There goes my vacation day opportunity…
Edit2:
Wow! The customer support really pulled through, suggested they request a password change on my account from their side.
Turns out, this seems to toggle that flag, and I could now start the game! Hooray! Akash, my man, you saved the day! Cheers 🍻
I can’t play EA games because In 2023 they archived my account for “inactivity” with playtime in 2022. The only option is to delete my purchase history and save games… I wish people would stop giving them money.
This is why I support gog. The future is here, you own nothing and have no rights to what you’ve purchased. Pretty much anything can be turned to a brick when the corp decides it’s time or they want you to buy something new.
That’s weird. I just logged into my ea account from 2012 after not touching it for 5 years and it appears everything is there. Adding a recovery mail just to be sure now. LOL, it’s so old it doesn’t even have a name and shows as a 25 digit ID on the website.
EDIT: dude below is right: GOG all the way.
And they still wonder why everyone avoids them.
