Shush, The President Is Speaking:
New information about the ECA situation has made its way forward. Kotaku has an article up with Hal Halpin's, the ECA President, response to everything.
According to Halpin, it's all the consumers fault.
Now, I don't know about you, but I just don't know if that's the best answer. Yes, there have been situations where people have exploited some of the discounts that have been offered through the ECA. Yes, some of these people are probably part of the group complaining about this situation. But that does not mean that the 'exploiters' are the only ones having problems with the changes in policy.
Placing the blame entirely on the exploiters is not good business. At some point the organization is going to have to step up and take some responsibility for what has happened. Yes, some people exploited benefits, but by the same token their response does not appear to be very well thought out either.
Again, I'm not sure what this is all going to amount to, but I do hope that they find the means to change their policy in the somewhat near future. It'd be a shame for the ECA to get run into the ground over this, especially since they're (supposedly) doing good things for the community.
