I know it's merely academic at this point, seeing as we can't go back in time and all, but I can't agree with this statement. Email (when it actually freaking works, get on that SE!) reaches both people who are subbed and those who are not. An in-game notice would only hit the subbed players who logged on during the time-frame. This setup would have really screwed over unsubbed players and those who just didn't log in, whereas the emails give everyone a fair chance.

Like I said, I've no problem with an in-game notice. But there will still be people who miss it and still be people who will complain they weren't notified. Only way to make it 100% foolproof is if SE sends a rep to your front door to grab you by the shoulders and shout it into your face.
