In the western movies it was called thievery!

A lot of the statements that you have made have absolutely NOTHING to do with anything yet you make them, and while NOBODY was forced to order and pay in full up front, most thought they were dealing with a reputable company and not one being cannabalized from the inside. To your last point, I'm sad for a lot of folks involved but the owner ain't one of em.

EA was not a fly-by-night company, they were reputable and evidently made a good product. Regardless, everyone who bought from them took a known risk paying up front with an extended shipping date.

In a lot of ways this is sort of like when someone buys a house that is subject to an HOA and then comes to regret it later. Yes, there was notice to the buyer of the HOA and there were some people who were happy and some not. The area was well established and nice and the house was "perfect". So after a year or two they get fed up with the HOA and wish they had never heard of the place. Well, I don't want to see or hear their crying because they should have never bought in an HOA to start with. If they did, suck it up and deal with it. Sell out and move or sue the HOA or whatever it takes to make them happy. But being a whinning crybaby on an internet forum is a waste of time and tears.

You seem to spend an awful lot of time whining about people whining. LOL

The whiners seem to be the ones that never bought from EA.
Meanwhile, I saddled up and used my EA grapple today.

I dealt with EA about 8 years ago and did not like the service/value. I posted my opinion at the time and received a lot of push back, so I declined to comment much since. Fast forward to today.... no surprise here.

All the whinning on here is contagious. I'm sick of it.

Then just go away. Who is twisting your arm to comment in this thread to belittle people who have been burned by this situation?

I think a missing point of the matter is that SOME people figured that with a company such as EA, with such good reviews and a long history of making quality products, it was no stretch of the imagination to think that the REASON for the long delay between paying for the merchandise and received same was because their products were in such high demand that the list was exceptionally long of customers who placed orders before yours. You were simply waiting at the end of a long line for all of those previous orders to be filled in turn before yours could be shipped. By all appearances and reasonable evidence, EA products were THAT MUCH in demand that waiting in line was not in the least unexpected nor seemingly unusual. In my opinion, there was no evidence nor reason to expect anything different than what I have expressed. There really was not even a hint of any reasonable risk being involved concerning not getting what I paid for and losing my money paid.

I'm done debating this topic. For better or worse, EA operated like every other ecommerce store ever run. 100% payment at the time of order. End of story.

For most e-commerce, you can only pay for an item that is in stock and ready to ship.

A few websites will allow you to "backorder" something if they have expected deliveries coming. They are clear to tell me if I am doing a backorder on something popular. It's 50/50 if they take my money on a backorder.

not even remotely a true statement, I ordered from 3 different sites this year that said in stock, then took 3 months to ship. you think because there is a in stock flag on the site that means anything more then a check mark in a software program?

Good e-commerce platforms tell you if an item is going on a backorder! Ordering with no notice of stock status is not something I tolerate for normal website purchases of ordinary goods.

A few times I ordered something "in stock" but, got caught with other people "in queue" to get theirs shipped when they ran short. I was notified and was given a choice to wait or, a full refund, my choice.
