It's not a matter of these guys getting their feelings hurt, or not being able to take the heat or they should be in a different job. Obviously, EA as a corporate entity is allowing them to post here for a change. They come on these boards and talk to us in a down to earth realistic manor that should be interpreted as such. Obviously, when it mentioned that the reason the patch was held up was a small laughable reason, he was just being "one of the guys" and being honest. If you are going to cast doubt on EA as a company based on a brief comment then perhaps EA should go back to the old policy:

Say nothing on the message boards and only release press announcements that have been approved through the legal team. These are vague and void of any information so that there are no potential issues or mis-interpretations that could negatively affect EA as a company. Translation: leave us all in the dark.

I find the normal everyday candor that there guys bring here to be refreshing. Sorry that a little "glitch" got caught by Sony, and it probably "was" a silly reason, and now EA doesn't take there job seriously? I just don't see why it is such a big deal that they were honest with us.

Sometimes silly things get in the way of serious business and cause delays that are unavoidable.

Just remember in years past, if there even was a patch, you would never here of it until it dropped. You might not even know what it fixed. But you sure wouldn't hear one of the designers honestly telling you it got hung up because of a silly glitch with Sony. Would you prefer that?

I know I like it much better the way it is now.
