How in the world is that legal?

I bought the license to play the game, and what legitimate law in the world is telling me I can't sell that license?

I have to imagine, in some way, that Steam gets away with it by offering those constant sales.

I was never a huge EA fan, and when they started banning people from their forums for doing nothing wrong and taking their games away(like getting sweared at, not doing the swearing but getting sweared at, someone tells you to f off on the EA forums and you loose all origin games, sounds fair right? lmao). So i decided never to support EA again, so will never use a game that requires their software.

Im a huge mass effect fan, i even bought the first one retail then again later on steam since i prefer to have games on steam. But untill ME 3 hits steam for $5 or less im going to have to go without.

EDIT: link incase anyone missed it last year

Waiting until its only $5, and avoiding it like its the plague because of some forums banned idiots, does not make a huge Mass Effect fan.

Anyway though, people, take Steams nuts outta your mouths, nothing wrong with Origin. You're the ones missing out :D

I have no issue with the fourms banning people. I have a serious issue when they take away your games perminatly and you are not the one who broke the forum rules and are not the person who should have been banned in the first place.

At least if i wait till its $5 and on steam EA will be seeing less than half that $5 and i can live with that, i cant live with giving EA more money than that as i am very against there current business practices and the only way to tell tham that is with your wallet.

Yea, the games being taken away was beyond stupid. Was that never fixed?!
