  What option should be considered is an organized "STRIKE" by the wgt community.

  If no one is playing the game no revenue is generated. That means prospective clients (advertisers) have no reason to spend money on a company (WGT) that has no audience.

  This could/would be devastating for WGT's future and they would have no one to blame but themselves.

  Quite seriously is this what you want? Without revenue or limited revenue all future plans (course expansions) would be put on hold,

  As frustrated as I feel, more to the point, at WGT Marketing Department treating its customers as morons, this is still a great game. But it is time they started listening to its customers and being realistic about the bottom line. Simple supply and demand curves should be the first thing they learn.

  I feel sorry for Pizza also for copping the flak this marketing department creates. As I said earlier, I am at the point where I have to re-evaluate why I bother playing. Just started a round using the starters ball, and this is what I intend to do for a bit. Maybe go back to the starters clubs too - get back to the roots - and possible a lot more fun..

  I'm told our marketing team should be making a minor announcement about this situation in the near future

  I'm thinking...."Big Break WGT", how cool would that be?

  Not necessarily what I want but what is most likely needed to correct the current situation and to change wgt's future direction concerning marketing and customers needs and desires.

  I was wondering why my kids have not been able to watch "The Rugrats" on telly....now i know they have now had a better offer from WGT to do their Marketing for them.

  while the "Rugrats" are making a "minor" announcement about this golf channel deal ...could u get them to give us an announcement about their thinking behind all this new elite collection shizznie?......i.e what feedback where they basing the prices on? (barbie,ken or buzzlightyear?)

  Since all the limelight has been mostly on the elite collection....is there any chance of getting a list of what actually was upgraded in this latest update? ....i.e bug fixes (if any)

  Please take me off the Jan. chat with Mr. WGT as I am a little short of the 100,000 credits.

  My God how THICK are you all ?

  You must surely see at these prices that what WGT / Chad,is saying We / I will not and don't want to speak to you 'Customers / Plebs' unless you spend an inordinate amount of money, then I will feasibly (though this is liable to change) deign to do so..

  You got to applaud WGT for their clarity at least have you not ?

  Agreed on that, but maybe I was a little naive, I thought that was part of the purpose of a forum.

  The forums have apparently proven to be quite useless in rectifying any concerns by the community. Therefore a stronger method of sending the message should be applied.

  Action speaks louder than words.

  our relationship with Golf Channel, other than the fact that we have an ongoing marketing and advertising partnership with Golf Channel.

   

  yeah it's called Reciprocal Linking.

  Mr Pizza  

  This has been a long read all day and I am wondering is the moves they are making because when they switch over, out of beta,the awards and moneys will be of higher value? 

   I remember another game site,(slingo) a few years ago did the same thing before they changed?   

                   Thanks Ron
