EA Updates Origin Policy

Electronic Arts has revised its policy towards banned or suspended accounts. Now those afflicted can play single-player and other aspects of their title despite their status.

Previously, if you were banned or suspended due to a violation in multiplayer, you couldn't access the single-player, DLC, or entitlements of the game. The update has already happened, but EA has waited a little bit to make sure it is legally in the clear.

According to EA's site: "If you find yourself with a disabled account, please note that you can still play EA games in single-player mode. For PC games you will need to enable Origin's offline mode to play games with a disabled account. Go to the settings tab in Origin (the gear icon) and select Go Offline."
