Please allow Microsoft to add the Skate titles to Backwards Compatibility

First, let me just say that I love EA and am a longtime loyal customer.  I am not angry.  I am just looking for any information on when I might be able to play my all-time favorite game series again....

It's also been taken down from the BC title page because it's been up there for over 6 months with no indication of it being released any time soon AND your own people have said, when asked, that there were no plans for BC for it. Does this mean EA is reversing course and is supporting backwards compatibility for Skate 3?

Something besides a canned, generic answer would be appreciated. Like an explanation. Not that you owe it to anyone (you kinda do) but more so that I can bring something worthwhile back to the Skate community.

@EA_Barry I notice you got pretty quiet when put on the spot. Just so you know, all the people that are upset about this and have been banging away at MS on the User Feedback page are starting to migrate here as they've begun to realize that you are the primary reason for this taking so ridiculously long.

    How long are y'all lunch breaks over there? Do they scale with "coming soon" statements for game releases? Still waiting for you to get back to us. @EA_Barry

      While Skate 3 has been announced as an upcoming XB1 backwards compatible game, no ETA is available at this time.

        @EA_Barry why don't you just say you're not working on it? Because all you just said is something MS already said, which means nothing, and that you have no idea when it'll be done, which means nothing is being done. Why is it so difficult for forum mods to actually say something instead of stringing together words that are meaningless? Say something like "With Black Box being closed there are licensing/permission hurdles that are taking longer than expected" or "We are currently working on the port but it isn't a high priority at this time", something that lets people know you really are working on it not just blowing smoke.
