Monday, my birthday, went well. 
EA was giving me an exclusive, free birthday set?!?!
Then I read the asterisk.
Basically, I have to buy SimPoints to enjoy the discount thing.
Okay, so I just skimmed through it, and they gave a special code which I get to redeem. Maybe I can still get something?

I did! I got a birthday set thing with a stuffed bear, balloons and flowers. 
I realized I’m not the first person to have a birthday in the community, but I never knew EA cared about their customers. If you could call lousy marketing ‘caring’.
But my Sims laptop broke… so D:.
That's cool that you got that! I thought they stopped doing it or it got messed up or something. I hate those 25 percent off things too. I like physical copies too. Digital copies seem more risky. Especially with EA :p. Sorry about your Sims laptop. That sucks. And glad that your birthday went well :D!
ReplyDeleteYeah. I thought they'd be too cheap to give away free stuff, even on birthdays. When I buy a video game, it takes me a while to decide what to buy, and those 25% off coupons seem to cater to impulse buyers. I heard if you get banned from anything-EA owned, you lose your digital copy rights, but IDK if that was just a rumor/hyperbole or not. The charger broke, so my Dad's either going to try to fix it, or we'll have to buy a new charger.
ReplyDeleteAnd thanks! :)
Lol met too. It takes me a while to decide too. I always have an idea of what I want when I start looking, but then I get sidetracked.
ReplyDeleteAnd you do lose your copy rights or at least I think. I got banned once. I lost all of my Store stuff. I mean it still appeared in the game, but it was gone from my purchase history. I would think it would be the same for digital games, but not sure.
Aw that sucks. Hope you can work that out. And you're welcome :)
