I watched that clip several times, laughed every time!
Back to topic, I actually thought that there was going to be 5 days head start. But seems like I was wrong, or.. I don't know but, I have paid and played "EGA" before in other games, and it was clear then.
Anyways, if it now is as some say, that the stuff on Origin is just BS and we might not get more than 1 day (extreme case) EGA,.. still, they sure could have made that a bit more clear. Obviously there are MANY that don't see it that way...that aren't stupid.
