First of all it is none of your fucking business. Good heavens. This is a practice that happens in every business. Should they stop being a go-between because the product has issues? It is not like they are defending the issues or not responding to them. Does that benefit NCAA 13 and beyond? I like having the ear of someone who has the ear of EA. It beats calling customer service with a problem, complaint or suggestion or for that matter trying to do so on the EA Forums.




To my liking, Yes. I play offline and never use custom playbooks. I can understand why people are upset but for cripes sake show me that perfect game. I like Dead Island but it does not mean I am happy with the graphical issues, crazy respawn issues and other problems.
I do want to respond to the others who have responded to my questions and concerns, but your post can help clear some of the air.

1. Should they stop being a go-between because this product has issues?

That is their decision. I like the concept of the Game Changers program as well as the Community Day events, but I'd have concerns on what comes with being apart of those events. Which leads me to...

2. I like having the ear of someone who has the ear of EA. It beats calling customer service with a problem, complaint or suggestion or for that matter trying to do so on the EA Forums.

Here is where I have my concerns with that relationship. Your last sentence perfectly illustrates my point. It beats calling (EA) customer service with a problem, complaint, or suggestion or for that matter trying to do so on the EA Forums.

So to my point, EA is using those involved with the Game Changers program and the Community Day events as free Customer Service (minus the "reimbursement" cost.) Rather than contacting EA, you can contact these guys - and they are way more readily available to hear and respond to your opinions, both positive and negative, than anyone from EA.

Do you understand where my "child like" mentality is coming from now, or do you feel the need to try and belittle me some more? You lost me at Operation Sports, anyway...
