More bullshit from Massive Shithead

Which would be how he keeps his job.
This isn't MaxoidSam's fault. It's EA and Sony's fault; and he's right, if people want things to change, bitching on the BBS isn't going to do much. He's saying what they tell him to say and what will cover EA and Sony's asses.
MaxoidSam is assuming that bitching on the bbs is all we've been doing there. It's not. I for one have written the EA execs., complained to the FTC, the BBB, and my State's Attorney consumer protection. I am fairly certain at least a dozen others have done likewise. And I have gotten some results doing these things (except the EA execs. notta), but more people need to contact them. It's going to require more than one complaint to get people to act. The FTC informed me that they are collecting information about this, but they need enough consumers to complain before they can request a federal investigation. With the BBB, they told me to contact the FTC, but I already had done so. EA failed to respond to my BBB complaint and will be getting another "unresolved" mark against them for what that's worth. I've heard nothing from my State's Attorney General, but according to the FTC they send all their information to the State's Attornies themselves. Now all that's left to do for me is to keep bitching on the bbs. People do watch the bbs and look to it for information. It's about being there to inform people more than believing it will do anything to change EA. But the fact is, MaxoidSam has been worried sick about all this, and my reading between the lines of his message is telling me he is telling us what he thinks will be more effective action. Now why would he do that unless he wants us to be effective? I think he wants SecuROM off the game almost as much as we do. He just has no say about it. Oh and btw, bugging the HELL out of them is effective! ;D
Solowren:
What he says makes sense to me. SecuROM was shipped on, what, hundreds of thousands of copies, he said? And they've received only roughly 150 formal complaints. That's simply not enough to call for a recall or a dump of the program.
I, for one, did not make a complaint because I was able to fix it myself with a registry cleaner and a no-cd patch. I can imagine many, many other people did the same. If a formal complaint is what they want, though, I just may have to do that.
Li'l Brudder:
I'm still livid with the fact that they won't throw the Dev Team under the bus for fucking up so badly. Seriously! They're paid to to heir jobs. If they can't do their job (develop a game with most major bugs removed), then they should be sacked and EA should start anew.

If EA were a good company, that would be a major part of their developers' job descriptions. However, EA is not a good company, and their developers' jobs depend on very quickly churning out programs that many people will buy. Not high-quality programs, just programs. So in reality, they are doing their jobs. It's just a crappy reality.
J. M. Pescado:
If EA were a good company, they'd be choking those developers as per the Darth Vader school of management: "And you have failed me for the last time."
