    EA Customer Services - er...yeah

    I've been "conversing" with EA Support over some issues I've been having after using their Download Manager.

    Today I got the obligatory survey asking how things went. I start filling it in and it's all fairly mundane until 5hours into the endless torture I see the following piece of genius.



    D'oh.

    |TAKTAK: "It was so small that mine wouldn't fit into it"|

    OMG! That's shocking.

    You gave EA 7/10 for support!

    Besides, doesn't EA own the entire games industry now?

    Re: EA Customer Services - er...yeah

    EA own most games... I'm beginning to HATE that intro of theirs...

    "EA... challenge everything" as most games I load up have it in.

    Luckily, one of my friends provided some relief with some older games, so I no longer scream and shout at my computer for repeating the same thing about 10 times a day...


    Maybe they think that because they're so overpriced that no one will buy more than 10 of their games

    Shockingly true.... sometimes I really wonder about the sanity of them. I mean.. it's not like anyone really LIKES to have irritating messages played at them.


    I find the THQ one the best... skippable, and it's got no sound! Go them. Full marks for nicety!

    Re: EA Customer Services - er...yeah

    actually, if they say "then" rather than "than", perhaps that do mean "on" rather than "in".. and all this time i thought they were just being nonsensical!

    suddenly like them more - refreshingly honest
