Wow - so EA Link got changed to EA downloader. I like that your horrible, clunky download service got replaced by a web store. where i can buy games.
Unfortunately, it has taken me so long to find where I could go to download a game I *already own* that I had time to pop in here and vent uselessly.
Thank you for making my life more frustrating. Thank you for ensuring I will never buy anything online from your hideously ever-changing morass of useless nonsense.
I hate you.

UPDATE: Apparently, there is *no* link to the new "EA Downloader" anywhere. Only if you *buy* something from the store will it cough up the program.

On an interesting note, apparently you are only ALLOWED to download programs that you purchased for SIX MONTHS after purchase date. You can BUY The right to download YOUR OWN GAMES for up to TWO WHOLE YEARS if you shell out an EXTRA SIX DOLLARS.

are you KIDDING ME!?
LOOK AT THIS. I AM TYPING IN ALL CAPS! THIS IS YELLING! WHAT SORT OF INCREDIBLE SCAM IS THIS!??!

Yeah EA as publishers (well actually as most of things) pretty much suck. In my eyes they are the stereotypical wedontcareaboutourcustomers and justgiveusmoneyforrandomstuff company.
