Thought this would be an amusing thought to share:

ClickandBuy Maintenance Notification

Square Enix did us the courtesy of notifying us when ClickandBuy would not be up. This tells me that they are very buddy-buddy with ClickandBuy...

And that is not a very comforting thought at all. It tells me they will oppose having any competition over Square Enix subscriptions, but if Square Enix wants to save themselves from the fires of hell, I'm sure they will need to offer an alternative.

You know what strikes me as really odd? The lack of a PayPal option with ClickandBuy. I would have been willing to accept CnB with that, because then I would not have to worry about my Credit Card being compromised, and I would be afforded greater protections by PayPal.

This tells me that CnB really wants our credit card information, and I don't think it's for a noble purpose.

P.S. ClickandBuy still has not responded to my complaints and requests for customer service. It's now the second week of waiting for a response. If I do not get a response in three weeks, I think it would be a good reason for Square Enix to quit CnB. The lack of customer service is actually a violation of U.S. consumer protection law.
