Still No Pitcoins?
Okay, it's been over a month since the game came out and 3 patches and I STILL have no Pitcoins. This is beyond ridiculous and all Customer Service keeps telling me is "The team is aware, is investig...

Community ManagerYes, unfortunately this has not yet been resolved but as previously, the teams are investigating currently.
Thanks.
If Pitcoins can be bought by players for real cash, and EA knows who should be getting free Pitcoins as part of their initial game purchase, why does EA simply not just put Pitcoins on to those accounts?

Presumably the nature of the problem means they can't "simply just" do that, otherwise they would have done it in the first place.

In order for that to be the case, the entire pitcoin purchasing system would have to be completely broken, and/or the player account system would have to be completely broken. As I see no complaints about everyone not being able to buy the game on their EA account, or on Steam, and no reports of EA's shop system being down (and lets face it, not being able to take our money would be a priority item on the fix now list) I can only conclude that they just don't care to try.
After all, if they do the blindingly simple and obvious thing of just *giving* people what they're owed another way, they might also suddenly fix the issue and then people will get MORE things that they *aren't* owed, even if that is just a small amount of imaginary currency that isn't even valid across multiple entries in a continuing series of games. This is typical Codies, and even more typical EA. Bluster, nonsense, silence, and nothing much else besides.
