More bullshit from Massive Shithead
dizzy:
On the contrary, nil, corporate is too busy spying on their own employees to ever investigate their customers. Investigating customers is something a failed business does (the RIAA, for example). Check out the want ads, and I'm sure you'll notice some "secret shopper" jobs available from corporate for your average retail. 8)

Indeed, I should thank to the "secret shoppers" business, or I'd be well kicked out of a store for my badly-tasted clothes-up. :D

For whatever it's worth, being nice to the peons is always the way to go. Bonus; it works on most (intelligent) annoying phone type people as well such as telemarketers and political opinion poll people (both jobs I've been stuck with recently). Just cut them off, apologize for not being interested, ask them to not to call again and tell them you hope they make their quota. Won't help you if you get the idiot overly pushy phone types, alas. And much like waitresses (I did graveyard shifts for years and refuse to use the word server as most customers think it means "servant") who see your food before you do, you really don't want to tick off a person who is likely looking at your address.
I haven't followed the gamer vs. company drama on this game since just before Uni came out, but I'm not surprised that it's going down the way it is. Most distributors don't really seem to care about the product they put out anymore, and rely on the fan community to fix (I mean make mods for) the game after it's release - NWN, The Movies, The Sims, etc. Sigh. At least there are bigger nerds than I out there, figuring out how to fix all the implied crap. With rocket launchers.
J. M. Pescado:
I'd suggest just not buying anything. I have religious objections to this entire "spending money" thing, anyway. Spending money is a sin.

I just hang up. Saves us both time and energy and gives a very clear message. No mucking round. It's not mean, it's efficient and saves my temper.
