Good point. However those sites get way waaaayyy more traffic than EA's dinky little announcements. I don't care that they didn't release the info. I just don't see the point of flat out lying about it. If it's not coming out for 2 more weeks that's fine. I'll be pumped for it when it comes. Just don't play games and tell me it's this week. I'm sure they have their reasons though, so whatever, no sweat.

95% of the people acting like they can't wait will be complaining seconds after the info drops so why not just chill? I've learned to temper my expectations when it comes to EA..

I'm sure there's a reason why the information has not yet been released. We have to remember, EA doesn't have to release a blog to the public as a way of marketing the game; they could just use commercials, because the game will sell regardless. Them releasing information to us is a "nicety" and shouldn't be an expectancy. This since of entitlement, I just don't get, neither do I understand. As a company, they have no obligations to us, as far as releasing certain information. We're all hungry for information but complaining about something that is completely out of our control is nonsense. Remember, patience is a virtue.

You are right, they don't have an obligation to release information. It's when they officially announce they are going to do it that it does in fact become an obligation. This has absolutely nothing to do with entitlement, why wouldn't people be upset it they are awaiting information about presentation that was promised within a timeframe that has now passed?

Maybe because people are more understanding in business situations, miscommunication happens on a daily basis.

Maybe because people started leaving on Thursday from work for the holiday weekend and it was a short work week.

Why be upset when this happens all the time in business?

Maybe because it is now Tuesday of the following week and there is no updated timetable.

I don't know, I had over 400 emails and 30 voice mails when I returned to my office yesterday.

I'm sure they will release the information in due time.
