Heh, so I thought I could do a mini rant here about a lie by Stephen Reid about the grace period.

See, I don’t fall for the “Head of customer relations doesn’t know about grace period” gag.  Doesn’t make sense, he had to know or he’s definitely a bad employee.  So what’s the issue, you ask?  In a post in August he stated, no ambiguity, that there was a grace period where people could play temporarily while they wait for their physical game box to arrive.

As of today, grace period is no more!  Those people who bought physical editions won’t be able to play after the 20th December until their boxes arrive (providing they get to play prior to the 20th December at all).  Ah, the rage was tremendous – roughly two pages of posts every 30 seconds, it hit 4000 posts in about an hour and a half.

Of course, there were the defenders who tried deflecting the blame to EA, and others who deflected the blame to Bioware, and even others who said there were no lies and things change.  Since this is the XD Project where we are right and the world is wrong I’m going to go ahead and state categorically that those people are morons.  That is all.
