A Dragon Age II player was banned from the game's singleplayer campaign for "using bad language" on BioWare's forums.
The bad language the player used was calling EA the "devil." As punishment, BioWare suspended his account for 72 hours which rendered him unable to play Dragon Age II because the suspended account was needed to activate the game.
After the situation caught media attention, BioWare responded by referring to the forum's terms of service before EA lifted the ban and claimed that the single player ban was a mistake and that the forum's moderator intended to ban the player from the forum alone but he ended up being locked out of everything that requires an EA account.
