CaptainHagbard Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 So I see a lot of complaints around here about the "up to 5 days", with people stating that they were lied to. What I keep asking myself is: Don't they understand what "up to" means or don't want to understand? Because this how I see things: usually "up to" means "maximum" or "at the most" and not "minimum" or "guaranteed". So how exactly were we lied to? They even extended to "up to five" to "up to seven" so in that sense: yes, we've been lied to, because we've been given more time than intially planed. I am pretty sure I'm right in the interpretation of the "up to"-stuff, but maybe I just didn't get the argumentation and people are talking about being lied to about something entirely different.

Mongrovis Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 I got an email from EA where it states preorder now and you will get exactly 5 days. So make what you want from that. OK it was on my Spammail adress for my old Bioware Account but still funny. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sableyes Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 the thingt hat got me was they were selling it as upto 5 days just 2 days ago when they surely would have known it was not going to probably be upto 5 days ata ll, saying that though its not even 5 days before yet so who knows.

Snowred Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 There are plenty of threads explaining the issues ppl have with large print/small print/misleading claims/Origin's broken pre order codes et al and I can't be bothered to point you to all of them but a forum search and a bit of reading comprehension will get you there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
