CSB post and all but I need to vent.

I bought the Battlefront ultimate edition with the season pass yesterday on a whim. After waiting for the 25 GB of updates and DLC, I hop in excited to give it a run only to find out the EA account I haven't used since Mass Effect 3 came out is "temporarily locked for my security".

So I hop on to EA's help website as instructed and try to get in the support chat. My wait was supposed to be "5-10 minutes". 4 hours and multiple tries later, I gave up.

No phone number to call, no other option but the chat.

Looks like I am going to return it and never buy another EA product that doesn't say "Mass Effect" on the box.

I will see your Electronic Arts and raise you Sony's customer service.

EA once came to my house and punched me in the balls.

Only an EA rep has the power to unlink a PSN ID from one account to the next so I would have had to go to them anyway.

First thing I thought of too

I don't get this mentality. Politics has nothing to do with my patronage of a business. If they make a good product, I don't quote care what they do in the voting booth, in their head or with their genitals as long as they aren't hurting anyone else.

What is EA customer service number?

For those looking for the EA/Origin support number; It is 866-543-5435 within the US. If there's any other way I could change this without knowing my security answer, that would be great.

Then report your findings.

they have a shitty live chat system but their call back customer support is a 50/50 hit. First time using the call back i got some foreigner who just ended up pissing me off but I tried again and got someone who I could better understand and the experience was so much better.

I'm with you. I don't care that 1 of the hundreds of people that work in that game is a moron. If you go down that path you end up not buying anything.
