What is the deal with supposedly legitimate companies and their inability to provide a working system for unsubscribing from their spam?  Is the idea that somehow, if they make it too hard to unsubscribe from updates about a game I haven’t played in years, I’ll change my mind about how boring their game is?  Well congratulations jerkfaces, I’ll just tell google to start blocking your emails for everyone.  I noticed that when I mark a funcom email as spam, google doesn’t offer a “these folks have a legit unsubscribe system, are you sure you don’t want to try using it first?” link, which suggests I’m not the only person whose gotten annoyed with their craptacular system.

Are you a game developer considering a publishing/distribution house?  Run far away from Funcom; I won’t buy any game from them ever again, and I discourage all gamers from buying from them either, at least until they de-scuzz-ify their email subscription system.
