Comment on Can't play an EA game via geforce now
tiramichu@lemm.ee 5 months agoIt IS a big deal though, that’s the whole point.
You had plans for today. You paid money for a service so you could make those plans happen, and then now your plans are toast. You paid money for nothing.
If you paid for a package holiday and then got denied boarding the plane for some garbage reason like “you’ve exceeded your maximum flight hours for today” (WTF?!l) then you’d be MAD and rightfully so.
Sure, this is just a game. It’s less important. But the principle is identical and your reaction should be to feel cheated and robbed, not just shrug and let EA get away with not giving you the service but still taking your money.

I get your sentiment, and agree somewhat, but I was able to play it prior as well as later, even if I had to wait 24 hours. So I didn’t pay for nothing, and if you meant gfn, then I was still fully able to use the service for everything else.
However, I did make efforts to right the situation, which I think is much better than simply complaining and feeling robbed. Those efforts brought fruit, too, and I was back playing in an hour.
But I still do see your general point and agree in the sense that we really should fight for our rights, and if unable to do so, strive to better things for others, so they need not fight 😌
