Yeah I got that email. It was a nice perk - but I had major problems running it last year and ended up using an alternative method, so I won't miss it.
Ironically, I spend more time on the phone with Rogers than anyone else...probably more than everyone else combined. The billing f***ups are frequent.
My battles with Rogers are legendary, I initiated an Ombudsman complaint, a CCTS complaint, emailed CBC Go Public on this issue and left a nasty voicemail to a contact at their Office of the President, we'll see where this gets me.
Man I am so happy to be out from under the obscenity that is Canadian cell carriers. If i didn't have a friend who owned a couple of Rogers stores I would have been royally ****ed a couple of times.
I have Cricket in the US right now. Month to month, unlimited calling and texting in US, Canada and Mexico, and 8GB of data - $45

Playing Tomb Raider on it. I didn't think console gaming could get more beautiful but WOW. Foilage, shadows, depth of field, frame rate. It's absolutely stunning and I don't even have true 4k or HDR.

'A public relations nightmare': Ticketmaster recruits pros for secret scalper program | CBC News
Box-office giant Ticketmaster is recruiting professional scalpers who cheat its own system to expand its resale business and squeeze more money out of fans, a CBC News/Toronto Star investigation reveals.
Company representatives told them Ticketmaster's resale division turns a blind eye to scalpers who use ticket-buying bots and fake identities to snatch up tickets and then resell them on the site for inflated prices.
The audience heard that Ticketmaster has developed a professional reseller program and within the past year launched TradeDesk, a web-based inventory management system for scalpers.

Update, I've got my Gamecenter back for this season only, I argued that the fact that I found out about this by an article and not from Rogers themselves is a failure of their responsibility to the customer, the Office of the President couldn't find a notice sent to me so they credited my account 179.99 which is the early bird fee for Gamecenter. Also they sent me gamecenter advertising, which is another issue as they are to never send me advertising in any form and I have the Ombudsman in writing saying so, I intend to hit them over the head with that.
Yeah, the only reasons I've really stuck with Rogers were:
1. Free NHL Gamecentre.
2. Not having to bother changing phone # and updating everyone.
Not to mention they were only willing to give me a deal on my no-tab plan for 1-year to match Koodo's prices.
Might as well just switch to Koodo now.

I dropped Rogers last year in December during the whole crazy data deals for $60 business, but my Gamecenter login continued to work the rest of the season. I'm sort of surprised they did this though because they own the TV rights and I can't imagine they'll end up with a ton more revenue to offset people leaving to alternative providers... I wonder if it's a technical move to alleviate load on their servers to improve service (I ended up using an "alternative" source for watching games half the time because of server issues with GC).

Why exactly are you trying to ruin me financially? I thought we were friends!
Seriously, though, I am waiting for January when TV's get stupid cheap.

Hey, I'm just letting you share the excitement vicariously through me
But I'm sure your decision to wait until after January will wind up being a very good dollar-wise one. And when you get it, you'll revisit all the games that support it that you played. I'd bring up The Last of Us and Horizon: Zero Dawn but you mentioned you have an XBox and I don't want to get accused of taunting No worries, I prefer stable online gaming where my cc info isn't at riskHey, I'm just letting you share the excitement vicariously through me

We had a starving stray kitten (maybe 8-10 months old) hanging around our place for a couple weeks that we started feeding, he had basically been living under our deck. Last week during the thunderstorm we brought him in the house, poor guy was just soaking wet and we felt too sorry for him. No claims for him at the Humane Society, so we decided to keep him. Just a great little cat, and has had no problems getting along with our old tabby and 2 dogs. Near instant acceptance, I think animals can sense other hard luck cases that need help (the other cat and one of the dogs are rescue animals).
2 cats and 2 dogs, what have we done? lol But I've never seen an animal this happy to find a new home, it does warm the heart quite a bit.

You are making me want a cat. I am def going to the humane society as soon as I buy a place down here.

That's so awesome he fit in so easily. You're making me miss having a cat. I nicknamed my old tabby "Tony Soprano" cuz all he would do is give my Labs "the look" and they would fall in line.
It’s the first day of Fall and it’s snowing. I think I’m going to cry.
