Yup, they sent me a faceplate for my Wii guitar, along with a note explaining that the gift is a thanks for being patient and waiting to get my remastered GH3 disc.

While this probably isn’t the design I would have picked on my own, I have yet to find faceplates for the Wii guitars in stores yet, so beggars can’t be choosers.

This gesture is nice and aimed at keeping customers. I appreciate the gift, but I’d rather have an apology for the way they screwed up and shared a bunch of email addresses that should have been kept private. I guess customers have been more concerned about how many speakers their game’s music comes out of than who has their email address.

You’ll notice there are multiple addresses listed in the To: line. Yup, Activision sent out the update to a slew of people and included everyone’s email address. I’m already starting to get spam specifically targeting the fact that I have GH3.

So far there’s been no follow up from Activision. I have not called and made a nuisance of myself yet, but if Activision doesn’t own up to their error soon, I’m sure there will be a lot of people in addition to myself complaining.
