      ?

      I don't follow in this case.

      We submitted questions ahead of time (like everyone else), whether they answer them or not isn't our call. This was set up by 2K, and various outlets were invited to sit in and listen -- and at the end ask questions.

      So the format is: 2K PR person picks a question from the ones that were sent in ahead of time (from all outlets); then the producer answers; then rinse and repeat. The hope was I'd get to ask at least a few questions at the end (eliminating the PR-screening process), but obviously that didn't happen since the call only allowed for 4 questions in total (I got to ask one of them at least).

      I'm not SHOCKED this is how the call went because it was set-up by the 2K PR folk (and it's generally the format they use), but during other calls I've sat in on, 2K has allowed more questions to be asked before ending the call.

        What?!
        "It may well be that we spectators, who are not divinely gifted as athletes, are the only ones able to truly see, articulate and animate the experience of the gift we are denied. And that those who receive and act out the gift of athletic genius must, perforce, be blind and dumb about it -- and not because blindness and dumbness are the price of the gift, but because they are its essence." - David Foster Wallace
