So some codes were given to gamers by EA after completing a survey. Sounds good right? Well, not for EA. Turns out that the codes could be used more than once. See the pic below to see how many games one guy got via this human error.
Over the weekend, some gamers received a special code from Electronic Arts as thanks for completing a survey. That code allowed them to download a free game from Origin, EA’s online store for PC games.
Or, it would have if EA thought to secure the code properly. Instead, it was quickly discovered that the code could be used to download as many free games as the internet wanted.
Jealous!
me too!!!
I snagged SimCity Societies and it’s expansion. Good thing it was free with that code, was not worth $20 if I had paid for it. So happy that they’re doing the new one in-house this time and doing it right. Feb 2012 looks awesome! 😀
