No, but thanks for being bitter, jag. When I spoke to the CSR, she told me of the plan to issue $10 certs to everyone affected. After I spoke to her, I sent my email. That was two days ago. Yesterday is when the make goods happened. Concurrently. So perhaps I was unclear as to the chain of...

So after the pre-order cancel glitch, I sent an email to customer care expressing my displeasure. Nothing scathing: this happened, I took that action, I'm Silver/GCU Member, yadda, yadda. Yesterday, not only do I receive a $20 cert, but emails from BBY stating that in order to make it right, I...

Everything you just said is all speculation. When and how the content is released is in no way indicative of how it was produced.

And your argument fails because delivery method doesn't matter. If the items you're being punished with were still made by the same team, but released as day one stand alone content, would it make you feel better?

Why does any potential MP DLC get a pass? It's the same logic: You created this world for me to play in, I paid $60 for it, why are you releasing additional content that clearly was developed in conjunction with the main game and most certainly should have been included in the initial release...

I'll refer you back to my earlier posts on this subject about you not understanding what goes into game production. And please don't tell me to explain it to you, because I don't know the details. I know there are timelines and budgets and teams and dickhead suits making decisions that cause...

Got another email yesterday telling me my orders of Gears, Tomb Raider and God of War are on back order and have been cancelled. Sweet.

Since I've already made it abundantly clear that I don't pretend to know the process, perhaps you ought to explain exactly how pubs like EA are extorting you or otherwise being slimy in an effort to make a quick buck? Since you know, you have all the answers. I certainly hope that if it bothers...

I don't pretend to understand the processes involved in getting a game from concept to market. That's the difference between me and people like you. You want to chalk it up unequivocally to scams and nickel and diming and greed and whatever else happens to be the flavor of the month for hating...

And people like you who don't really understand how the whole package has to come together and would rather piss and moan about it on the internet give rational gamers a bad name.

Yes.

Indeed. Why do people get so bent out of shape at the way others spend their money?

Two things: 1. Women love Coach 2. Your future wife will buy one You can beat your single chest all you want, but until you're in that situation, the words, "I'll never" are empty.

Well put.

It does kind of go against everything the CAG is supposed to stand for. In that respect, I can understand the uproar.
