    the straw that broke the cammel's back


    super psyched. just received Madden 25 in the mail. i've been playing this game with a friend on his PS3. its a fun game and i start playing, starting with updating rosters until i was notified that i needed to jump through several hoops to "improve the
    security of my account." all i wanted to do was to update the rosters . . . half of my evening was spent setting up a new password for my account, receiving texts to do so, etc. and now i have to purchase a gold membership to update these rosters . . . no
    thanks. i witnessed my buddy on his PS3 update his rosters in a matter a few minutes, for free. this may seem petty, but i am finished with xbox and in the future i plan on converting to play station, just as several of my friends have. thank you xbox,
    you made the decision easy!

    :)

  2. No Digital Version?

    This was literally the last straw for me. Over the years I've put up with a lot of crap from Microsoft all while hotly defending their brand but this was the straw that broke the camels back. They lost another loyal customer with this one.

    I was super stoked for XBOX One, been playing XBOX since day one, love the service and console but....

    A $30 retail game is the straw that broke the camel's back? LOL

    I've been a LIVE member since the beginning. I haven't gotten an email. Would I like one? Yes. Will I cancel my preorder if I don't get one? No.

    Deep breathes man.

    2 things mate, 1. When you don't use your origin account for a while they do that. 2. The PS4 is the same way in respect to rosters so good luck with that.

    [/quote]Then why did you both post in a thread about it?

    If you didn't care then you would have paid this thread no attention and moved on.

    However you instead took the time to post, which shows that you do in fact have some level of interest.

    I can see that being annoying, but you can never be too cautious about account security these days.

  11. 'Then why did you both post in a thread about it?'

    .

    Well, I was curious about which particular camel's back had been broken so I opened the thread.

    .

    Realising it was an Irrational Judgement camel I didn't care --in the slightest, as you've noticed-- though I was happy enough to let the OP know exactly that.

    .

    Happy now? Or shall I explain why I replied to you?

    If you wanted to let the OP know your thoughts, then you in fact did have some level of interest. It was important enough to you that you needed to comment on it.

    -

    So you in fact did care.

  13. the straw that broke the cammel's back

    Yeah, if you're going to go out your way not to care, then maybe you should rethink your strategy. Nothing more painful than seeing someone claiming over and over again not to care, when in actual fact it comes across as you care more about it than almost
    everyone else.

    Security settings can be frustrating but it's less frustrating than your account being compromised.
