My experience of customer support at YoYoGames.
I initially contacted YoYoGames (YYG) via their helpdesk to ask about how I would go about offering a GameMaker Pro licence as a competition prize. After about 24 hours my message was accepted, I assume with manual approval, onto their helpdesk system and I was e-mailed details of my helpdesk account.

Perhaps it is because of the issue mine was about.
Odd, I have never had a problem. They have nearly always answered my questions within 48 hours.

At least they are accepting feedback via the satisfaction rating required to close a ticket. Needless to say I chose unsatisfied.
Just submit another ticket, I guess.
I’ve had a better experience, but still.. YoYo should be much more organized.
