guessing some of you guys missed the live letters... Yoshida-san stated many times that he wanted those of us with early access to consider this our launch date. Basically, they were working under the idea that 8/24 was like a private launch, with 8/27 being the public one.

And don't pull that "we aren't paying anything" crap. WE BOUGHT THE GAME, AND WE WERE GIVEN A LAUNCH DATE FOR PLAYING. It's the same as those that didn't pre-order. WE ALL GET 30 DAYS FREE. So, technically, even those joining post early access are under the same payment scheme as us. Thus, it is no different. SE KNEW this was a launch date---their producer even encouraged that view from the playerbase. They KNEW how many would potentially be getting on at EA launch--this could be tracked easily between license sales and registrations.

All this adds up to make this entire situation unacceptable...pure and simple. They made promises, encouraged participation, and in spite of being given ample advanced notice of what was expected of them....someone somewhere simple failed to deliver. Whether that is SE, Ormuco, or EIDOS employees at fault--SE needs to get to the bottom of it and get someone to FIX it.... YESTERDAY.
