Electronic Arts have loosened up the restrictions over banned players on their Origin online game distribution service.
Their policy has been restructured, allowing players who have previously received a banning to access their purchased games and play offline.
Previously, players who had the proverbial Origin door shut in their face would not be able to access any of the games they had purchased off the service, including single-player games.
EA have been reflecting on their much talked-about policy, which has caused controversy since the service’s inception.
“For PC games you will need to enable Origin’s offline mode to play games with a disabled account. Go to the settings tab in Origin (the gear icon) and select Go Offline.”
EA notes that “the majority of banned or suspended accounts are only suspended temporarily,” and that you can appeal any applied ban via the instructions here.
