Suddenly lost access to the DLC added cosmetics today. I'm guessing there's a phone home system to EA to validate, and since this was bought on Steam, if the connection between EA and Steam fails, you don't get access to the DLC.

Basically, even if we pay for this DLC and have the files installed legitimately, we're assumed to be thieves unless we can prove otherwise. If we have the DLC installed we should be allowed to access it regardless.
