Yeah, I can't access my Town of Salem account anymore either. I'm beginning to think that was intentional because when I first started playing, you could buy skins, pets, and other features in time with the normal currency. It was fun and it motivated you to play more. You didn't have to go the microtransaction route if you didn't want to. And I got a bunch of neat ones through continuous play. Then they had a patch and now the only way to get that stuff is through microtransactions and that second "special" currency. The currency you get from just normal play is next to useless now. I already had most of the skins I wanted, so it wasn't that much of a bother, but now that I'm locked out of my account, all that stuff's gone. Sorry, but I don't want to start all over and be stuck with the boring default skins. And I'm just tried of games pushing microtransactions. I'll go back to playing older retro and indie games if that's what it means.

And yup, being locked out of my Origin account means I can't even play Battlefield 5 either because that was tied to my account. That alone is a reason never to trust EA because without a working password recovery system, you're going to get locked out of playing games you should own and lose any save files or unlocks. Now it's more like you're paying $60+ bucks just to rent them, and they're games that pale in comparison to how the franchises used to be. And that's all because EA abuses developers to vomit out half-finished games within unreasonable deadlines rather than encourage them to spend the time to make them fun, enjoyable, and add as much replay value as they can. All EA cares about is the money. And I'm going to do my patriotic duty by making sure they don't get any from me anymore.

Offhand, I've never had much luck with crane games. I'd rather buy those plushie things outright. At least then you can get the exact one you want, guaranteed, and without running the risk of dumping loads of money into the machine and come out completely empty-handed.
