ORIGIN 30% OFF SCAM

[pinkytube1]

So, I go to ORIGIN, and it states CLEARLY 30% off STOREWIDE!!!

So i say, OK, I will buy the stupid BF1 Garbage , for $30 off, i will take a chance.

Then I try to apply the code, and it says it does not apply to this title....

STOREWIDE means STOREWIDE.......

They should just have written SELECT TITLES... NOT STOREWIDE....

Bunch of TWATS...

The small print when you click on Terms and Conditions. Which basically gives them right to refuse just about everything.

I just find it misleading thats all. Just write SELECT titles. NOT storewide.

It reminds me of online dating.... You never get whats announced....

Having worked in sales before... whether a discount is offered, there is always fine print.

Any intelligent shopper, any gamer buying things off Origin since its existed knows that Preorders are not included in sales lol.

What do you think the better option is, list 1,000 titles in place of the word storewide?
