This insane distaste for Origin is becoming a little too much for me, I bet if this was Steam no one would've given it a second thought and just contacted support.
I sincerely doubt that. Have you read the absolute vitriol over Steam over the years? Some of it fair, even (when people have had entire accounts wiped without explanation, lost access to games they've purchased, etc). I've had great experiences with Steam and out of hundreds of transactions with almost 500 games there, I've never been double charged or had poor customer service or anything else, but you can find plenty of gripes about it. In fact, it seems every conversation about Steam eventually descends into back and forth stories of why people won't ever use Steam again.
Granted, it's not like EA is actually trying to pull one over on people or anything, but how in the hell do you just randomly charge someone for something several months later? This isn't like an accidental double-charge while processing an order yesterday. It's separated by a quarter of a year. If they did it for one account, they've certainly done it for countless others.
Also, yes. Fuck EA and Fuck Origin. For endless reasons.
Companies bank a certain karma and reputation. There's a reason some companies are given a pass with mistakes and people are more forgiving of them while others are given a short leash and quick venom.
