BF4 configs

You people are presumably all familiar with the differences between the spirit of the law and the letter of the law? One key component of this is enforceability... EA wouldn't have the means in many cases to distinguish between a .cfg file altered in game and one using notepad for example. It's a blanket statement they make so they CAN enforce where it becomes necessary.

Furthermore, there's the question of validity (I don't know what it is in this case). Just because a contract says something, doesn't mean it's valid. For example, those waivers you sign absolving a zip lining company from any responsibility for your death or injury are completely invalid if gross or criminal negligence on the company's part is shown.

So from a practical perspective, it's a grey area, and the advantages to be gained from all possible config changes would be a sliding scale from "who gives a flying fuck" to "dude you are a flying fuck" - and only then would EA possibly be goaded into action. All games since the advent of competitive LAN/online play have operated in this spirit.

Well someone posted it on the forums now anyway, so I asked my question there.

Unless the NSA is logging your keystrokes for BF4, then get ready to be thunderflashed and extradited to Guantanamo.

I don't think you should hold your breath for an answer... Would be nice if they did, but I suspect they have bigger things to worry about.

I don't think I've ever seen EA respond to any query, unless it is to tell you to use the correct lines on communication.

1. That is the proper channel.
2. If you go here, http://answers.ea.com/t5/Battlefield-4/bd-p/battlefield-4 you will see all the "solves" which is where EA have already responded to user queries / problems so they are responding on it.

I'll just keep on reminding them daily until we get a response. Every time that somebody else respond as well, the query moves higher in their priority queue.
