Honestly this is not my kind of thinking.
1. I don’t care which team / developers will be behind a game, since I don’t buy it from them.
I buy it from the publisher and that is EA. So for me EA is responsible for the delivery of a working product. How they are doing it in the background is irrelevant for me. If they find a way to drill raccoons for programming – no problem for me, as long as the games / software / apps work as they should. (Presupposed the animal welfare is guaranteed)
2. Cracked Versions are no option for me, since I paid for the games, so again: EA is responsible, that the games work. And I love to pay for a good product because I want even more good products and support for the future. That needs money and I’m ok with that.
If the product doesn’t work – as just happened with UBOUND – I’ll get my money back right away.
No discussions anymore or waiting for the graciousness of EA to “maybe” solve a problem. Refund, direct and that’s it. As long as there will be maybe an update or patch, which really works. Then I can decide to buy again. BTW: UNBOUND was already discounted in German shops by up to 40%. So at least for me as a customer it’s a benefit.
It seems that getting money back / refund is currently the only way to force any changes for the future. Or not to buy at all. But that decision has to be done in person.
3. For the current situation: I will wait some days, if EA finds a way to get the EA App and HP2010 working again or that they finally fix the deadzone problem in the remastered version.
If nothing happens, I have to take the legal recourse.
