But most don't turn around and say:

Very strange... I diced to drop this matter... I am tired of this conflict and I think that we have no chance of doing anything about this.

Indeed. Nice find.

Of course Cryptic's response to that would be...

"We're sorry, but Daeke was incorrect in saying this" ... even though he's a rep for Cryptic. As they've done with the guaranteed closed beta access. Cryptic is just plain lying here, in every direction.

We don't. But we can decide to never give Cryptic another dime and refuse to be fooled by their lies in the future.

If only Cryptic had some recourse ... and taken steps to correct the mistakes of Daeke. If only they had done something ... anything ... to get Daeke to stop posting incorrect things on their forums.

/sigh

Well, it has happened at least twice now with Daeke. If he were an employee of a company where I made decisions, I would have to eat his words and honor the promise. After the first time it would have been a casual reprimand. But the following times would be grounds for separation. Is Atari/Cryptic running a company or a circus? In the end, Cryptic isn't being responsible for this, so they're passing on their mistakes directly to the customer.

Didn't Daeke get sacked?

I hope that this matter never dies, I feel very sad that my Borg, is no longer a exclusive object.

Here is my story:
I am a huge star trek voyager fan, therefor I sent an e-mail to cryptic support before I bought a third copy of the game and asked them if they could grant me a Borg officer.
I told them that I am a huge fan an that I bought 2 copies of the game both the standard an the deluxe edition and the lifetime subscription.

The answer was that even if they wanted to they could not grant me a Borg officer, because they were not available any more. They told me that I could play the liberated Borg character instead.

So I bought a third copy of the game to get that Borg officer.
I paid a lot of money for this and because I was a lifetime member I could not use the 30 days of game time.

I was very proud of my Borg office, I showed her off in missions. You can call me an idiot if you want but it was a bit of a status symbol to have that Borg officer, it was exclusive and it felt like my own.

Because I am a star trek voyager fan I needed a "seven" in my bridge crew.

You still have it. Noone has taken it away from You. Does Your enjoyment only comes from depriving others from having ???

I pre-ordered tons of boxes to get stuff too. Connie, Borg BO, uniforms etc. Still I'm happy for others being able to get them as well plus I still have mine and enjoy them.

It gives me no satisfaction or pleassure to go "na na na , look what i have, You cant have it, na na na."

9 times out of 10 you don't even see the other players BO's except perhaps when visiting the bridge.

I have two different pre-order bonuses, including the Borg BO, and i'm all fine and dandy with this.
