Missing out on early access isn't really going to affect anything important.
Be sure to tell that to everyone who took vacation days to access the expansion early. I'm sure they'll appreciate it.

It's great that you have an abundance of patience, but that doesn't make this right, or the people who are angry about it wrong. The fact remains that people were advertised an incentive that wasn't properly delivered, and consumers definitely have a right to be ticked by that (especially since S.E. has decided radio silence is the best fix.)

Queue times are to be expected. Bugs are to be expected. Being bottlenecked by bad design, cut out of the majority of an advertised product, and then effectively being ignored, is developer behavior that should not be normalized.

Should Yoshi-P be fired? No. This might shock some people, but Yoshi-P isn't responsible for everything, good and bad. But someone should take responsibility, and Square should step up communication to their angry paying customers. I'm sure many of us would feel better if we at least felt like we were being acknowledged in a meaningful way.
