EA demonstrates corporate FU attitude not limited to MS

Electronic Arts provide the latest example of Big Business’ ability to treat the customer like sh*t and think it’s a virtue. The game in question is one for the PC, but that doesn’t mean they might not do the same thing to you one day.

Here’s a good scam:
1. Announce a Limited Edition product eight months in advance
2. Collect orders
3. Require payment in advance
4. Deposit the money at high interest
5. If customers move, refuse to change the order address, return deposit (without interest)
6. Blame it on the fulfilment house
7. Rinse and repeat (if you still have a business)

Full story: The Consumerist.

The Warhammer game shown here is not produced by Electronic Arts.
