== 2011 EA Games ban controversy ==

In March 2011, EA Games [http://www.escapistmagazine.com/forums/read/7.323783-Questions-Still-Swirl-Around-EAs-Origin-Bans?page=1 banned] a user for calling EA Games the "devil", forbidding him from playing single-player games that he had purchased. There were other reports of users being banned for innocuous activity.

In November or December 2011, EA Games [http://splodinator.com/man-unjustly-banned-from-ea-forums-loses-all-origin-purchases/ banned] someone using the name MaximumTacos because somebody else had swore at him on EA's forums. Maximum Tacos further [http://www.escapistmagazine.com/forums/read/9.328868-EA-now-issuing-permanent-Origin-bans-through-content-filter alleged] that:
<blockquote>
''Apparently EA is giving out information on my case to random strangers who call up, contrary to their privacy policy. Also, a zynga employee is stalking me, digging up information on me and posting it, and claiming that his connections in the industry will make sure my ban stays in place.''
</blockquote>

The name of MaximumTacos is similar to the Youtube user name MaximumTacos used by [[WompWobble]] administrator TerrorTacos.

New account NverGaveUp [http://www.escapistmagazine.com/forums/read/9.328868-EA-now-issuing-permanent-Origin-bans-through-content-filter?page=8#13438819 reported]:

<blockquote>
''The SAME [[Zynga]] employee was stalking and harassing me during work hours. He would post my real name, events I was invited to and even started to harass my friends. I can't believe Zynga would allow their employees do track down people online and harass them relentlessly posting their personal information everywhere.''

''The stuff he dug up would have taken a lot of time so I know he wasn't doing his job.''

''Come to think of it, he was on a Zynga computer, Zynga company time and harassed me from their location.''
</blockquote>
