In a controversial move, EA have announced that they have tied together their forum and in-game accounts, meaning that if anybody misbehaves on their forums and gets themselves banned, they'll be instantly banned from any games they have registered with the same name.
While we're all for banning nuisance members, banning people from games that they have coughed up a fair amount of money for is a bit far (especially when those richer gamers can simply repurchase the game). Therefore, unless you can afford to repurchase every game linked to your EA account - be on your best behavior at all times.
What do you think? Should EA be able to ban people from games that they've legally purchased?
Update: EA have now stated that the whole thing was a misunderstanding - and have now stated that being banned on the forum will not prevent you from playing games that you've purchased.
