That's what you took from this?
Maybe don't be an idiot and break something you signed for while everyone is telling you to stop.
I mean his name is plastered all over the screen, what did he expect
guy is also a pirate so justice x2 (he has a pirating software on his desktop). Don't go breaking those NDAs ahahahaha.
Edit: For further clarification, the guy has Popcorn time on his desktop. Popcorn Time is a special BitTorrent-client used to playback downloading torrent files and is used almost exclusively for piracy. You cannot download Linux distros or other legitimate content using it, only what the tracker file that is installed shows you.

Well for starters not being an idiot will curb a lot of the downsides to it.
It's absurd how entitled folks get when they refuse to honor or otherwise appreciate legal obligations.
Depending on his library losing it may have been much better financially than having EA actually take legal action.
Denining someone access to games they brought with their own money isnt something that should be done .
How do we know it's permanent? They likely just nuked his account access because he willfully violated the NDA.
Yes, he should lose access to the alpha or online play on origin not their entire library.
The fact that they can decide to remove all your purchases instantly is pretty worrying.
Not that this person deserved to go unpunished though. They were a fucking idiot
I agree, and I'm definitely pro digital.
But giving the platform holders so much power over products we've bought makes me feel very uncomfortable. I don't think they should be allowed.
But do you know if the purchases were removed or if his access was stopped (temporarily? permanently?) so as to stop his breach?
Because right now I see a ton of assumption!
Ea: Hey yeah. No streaming. No screens. No sharing any infor or else.
Streamer: Challenge accepted.
Me: Dumbass.
Streamer: Challenge accepted.
Me: Dumbass.
I know in this case, it's a bad argument. But I've seen people lose everything because their account got hacked. They lost everything with no recourse. So digital is still scary.
Well, I give him no sympathy, as it's his fault for breaking the NDA and he will bear the consequences for that.
It is, but it's probably not worth the effort for EA to pursue it any more than this.
This is also much funnier!
One thing is to ban his IP for online gaming, another thing is taking the games he purchased.
The NDA may have had some extra legalese in it that stated he would lose access to his library on Origins if he broke the rules.
Sure it does, but it might not matter whatsoever if he agreed to this in the NDA and/or terms of service.
Two wrongs doesn't make a right. Fuck EA. They could have banned his Anthem access or disabled his account, leaving the games but making further additions impossible. There's so many better ways to handle this. Or simply sue him if your NDA holds up in court. Stealing his shit is abysmal.
I dunno maybe he should have thought of that before he willfully registered, clicked his confirmation, signed the legal agreement and started streaming. He could reread what he agreed to and see what the actions were!
What's that got to do with this?
For breaking NDA this idiot can be taken to court. Losing his Origin account is getting off lightly in comparison.
If you don't want to respect NDA, don't play these tests. Simple.
