I got so many emails from them telling me to transition the account or I would lose it. So they did give lots of notice.

Even tho it sucks losing access, it's still a great game worth every penny

So did most of my friends, but I checked multiple times and confirmed that I had nothing. I would have been a lot less annoyed with them if I had received an email and missed or ignored it. For whatever reason, the notifications never made it to me.

Probably spam filter? I remember consciously ignoring them for over a year until I finally gave in and converted.

[–] Hasherm0n 1 points 2 weeks ago

I did check that at the time as well. Nothing was there.

A search in Gmail (which that used) finds stuff on spam. Also Gmail won't put a Microsoft company's mail in spam

I highly doubt that's true. I have gmail, and it puts official stuff in spam all the time.

Official stuff, sure, but not system generated email from giant companies like Microsoft

I've had system generated email from Valve go to spam (e.g. security codes). Same with security codes from major banks. It happens a lot less than smaller orgs, but it still happens.
