BF2142 EA Blooper?

Anyone confirm this? Gotta say, I am not surprised... glad I didn't buy it even though it seemed a good game. But EA is so amazingly bad.
Earlier today EA released a patch to the EA Downloader which effectively uninstalled EA Downloader and then installed the new “EA Downloader” which is called EA Link. Due to the uninstall it deleted all of the information associated with the cdkey of the game you purchased making the BF2142 that you had installed useless. By useless I mean whenever ANYONE connects to a server they are greeted with the message “Invalid CDKey”. If you are one of the lucky ones to manage to be able to connect to a server eventually 2-3 minutes down the line you will be kicked from the server by Punkbuster telling you that you have a “duplicate key”.
If you did not know of this situation by now it is most likely because you do not own BF2142, which I would have to say at this point, good for you and do not get it. There remains no solution to the problem at this moment as EA has yet to respond 10+ hours later but you can at least join in the fun on the EA message boards and tell them how much you hate them here.
In the end I would like to thank EA for proving to everyone why no one should buy your games…yet again.

A bug should not rob people of the use of their product.
Exactly, I expect bugs, I can even expect new bugs from bug fixes.... but this was completely idiotic.
