Why did EA remove skate.create

I am pretty shocked that they have removed this feature. I bought the game when it first came out, and used the video clips you can record yourself for a University assignment. I used to play it online ALL the time, had my own skate team, and page full of pics and vids, and I purchased a lot of the extra content (including the stuff that enhances the stuff they've now deleted). I ended up selling it because I was skint and needed the money at some point. Now just recently I have bought it again, so I can play online with my pals and I am extremely disappointed and shocked to find that they have removed all these features. They sold the game and advertised these features with it. The features are still advertised on the box so when a new person buys it I am pretty sure they are going to feel ripped off that part of what they paid for isn't even available anymore. Only due to what I imagine EA sees as something that is 'draining' on their profits. I'm sorry but all these customers have paid for these features and to remove it without any refunds or even properly consulting their player base is just beyond bad customer service. 

It reminds me of when they decided to shut down The Sim free play on Facebook, there was such an uproar, many people had put A LOT of money into the game and they turn around and say it isn't profitable enough so we will be shutting it down. That is no way to treat your customers. I know that the game is back now but not under what circumstances. It was definitely shut down for some period of time. This is why I rarely buy games from EA anymore unless it is something I desperately want to play. As soon as I see the "EA" tag I instantly think, bad customer service, money grabbing bastards.

YES WE DO

That sucks... I was really really working on getting my online account running, and as soon as I did... they had to to take the skate.create feature down. This sucks *.
