It's up to us my friends, to fight for what we believe in. It's up to us now.This is from Cai and I think he is right.
We have to do something: I know petitions can be useless, like Neil said, and so far indeed even the bug list was useless. But:
1. We cannot do anything else right now
2. It costs us nothing
3. Al least we could say we tried anything possible
4. I know they shot at us and we are dying and unable to shoot back, but at least we shall not die without even cursing them
5. Ask yourselves: what they are thinking of us right now? Answer: if we get not loud they'll give us the same treatment next time, if they see fit.
We have I think a couple of week time, so we can wait for everybody's return from holidays.
The only thing that makes sense now is flood their emails accounts.
I think we should elaborate a single mail, translate it in the languages of all the countries Infogrames has a site.
Each one of us will mail ALL the version of the letter: I mean I will not mail just Infogrames Italia with the mail written in Italian, but IG Germany with the german text, IG Brasil with portuguese one and so on.
Another option is to mail them with another mail subscribed by all of us ( meaning with ALL our adresses written on it).
The general mood of the letter can go from imploring to wry to righout enraged, it's up to us to decide.
Anyway me must make these points clear:
1. Our money was not flawed nor buggy
2. We are not here to be fooled by them or entertained by their muppet shows
3. Paying customers have the holy right to be satisfied
4. With GP4 they are losing their face, with GP5 they will lose our money
5. We will be very cautious and wary before buying GP5
6. Just because so far we were a dedicated and faithful community they don't heve the right to treat us like they did with GP4, because we are humans and we can lose our patience and turn our backs to them.
7. So far we were collaborative, but it takes nothing for us to start to ignore them and their games.
Of course we will spread the word in other forums too and see if we can rally them under our banner.
Have your say.
