In case anyone was wondering, you can indeed get banned for what you post off-site.

I'd like to extend my thanks to Sandi and Patrick for being so forthright and polite with me. At first I was a little worried I wouldn't see anything beyond an automated response, but then an anonymous CS rep helped me out, followed by Sandi herself, and then when Sandi couldn't provide the necessary information Patrick was kind enough to clarify.

I hope you guys find the attached conversation as enlightening as I did.

I guess it depends how they implement it. If they just add a hud element labelled "captured animals: 0" and then have that number randomly increase as you walk around the surface of a planet then it really is as easy as he's saying!

I'm blown away with your commitment to taking the high road throughout this exchange. And I am not at all surprised at Maleficent's constant twisting of your customer support issue into her own personal platform to tell you how awesome she is. That whole company really is all about her, isn't it.

I wish I could say this exchange enlightened me, but none of it comes as any surprise. Your exchange here will go on to be one of the classics when people start doing post-mortem forensics.

gently caress this company hahaha what the poo poo.

So Chris didn't want to sit up all night writing a coke-fueled rant in response? Then why did he do that instead of having some other representative just say "We categorically deny these allegations, no further comment."? If Sandi is so insanely brutally competent why didn't she advise that course of action?

Aaand there I just put more thought into what an appropriate response would be than they did.

Also, confirmation that the David Jennison letter is real and that Derek had the original ship name correct so he does/did have sources. loving nice one Sandi, you might be NO1 TOP SALESWOMAN but you're poo poo at PR. loving clownshoes!

The way she writes does not reflect well on her general intelligence.

Notice the date. Sandi's reply to Beer was on December 18th. This post is from December 25th.

Also, since SC's development, they've been to Monte Carlo during the Grand Prix on a yacht. You can bet that wasn't cheap.

Read every word, and my god. Anyone. ANYONE. Who thinks CIG are competent custodians of anything are the biggest idiots walking the planet.

It's a scam. It has to be. I've never seen such run around stalling "hope they just give in if we baffle them with bullshit" in my life.

I'm actually really angry after reading all that, and I have no investment, financially or emotionally, in SC what so ever. People like this should not be allowed to run companies.

Oh. My. loving. God.

I used to make comparisons with Enron. Now I'm thinking more like Amy's Baking Company.
:cripes:


Still, I'm probably going to keep posing Enron quotes because it's still a good illustration of how greed can poison anything, and even if CRobber and SRobber aren't actually actively out to scam someone, I would be highly surprised if there wasn't someone in the organisation that is. There's just too much money floating around being spent on insane frivolities with far too few safeguards for there not to be someone who skims a hefty chunk of change off the top.
