Phantom my Opera and call me South Park: Bigger, Longer, & Uncut

Beer4TheBeerGod posted:

I'm in the process of preparing my complaints to the various consumer agencies in case CIG decides to offer a refund of less than what I am owed. Fortunately I have an... extensive amount of information to work with. Putting it all together will likely take some time but I anticipate the various agencies will enjoy reading. So far I have to cover...

1. CIG transitioning from saying that additional funds will deliver more content on time to justifying delays as part of the increasing scope.
2. The misrepresentation of delivery schedules, including maintaining a website with a release date that was known to be false.
3. Denying a customer access to paid features on content based on activity that occurred outside of CIG sites, admitting that the content was denied by reimbursing the customer, and then lying to the press about it.
4. Harvesting external information on customers (such as online identities outside of CIG sites) and maintaining that information as part of a customer support database.
5. Predatory marketing schemes in which high pressure tactics are used to encourage sales through statements of limited availability that later turn out to be false.
6. Selling "credit" for ships and then denying customers the ability to use that credit on certain packages to entice more sales.
7. Offering assets for sale that will not be delivered as part of commercial release while requiring customers sign a TOS that denies refunds once the game was commercially released.

It will take me awhile to put it all together, but I'm sure there will be at least a few investigatory agencies who will appreciate having this information wrapped up in time for Christmas.

Wait a second, of all the folks who don't have a refund yet, Beer is one of them? I would have expected him to be one of the first ones on the train. Godspeed in your quest, at least. I hope this takes less than...two weeks to resolve.

After the refund is processed I'm fine with finding out Beer has been a giant thorn in their side for like $45.00 or he has a secret shame in the hundreds or even thousands of dollars but is now free.

I am genuinely hoping that they look at the damage I've caused to them in the past, look at how much it would cost to deal with me, and decide it's better to avoid the conflict. If not I have no problem putting the same effort and dedication I spent building them up towards tearing them down.

Apparently the LA City Attorney is suing retailers for fake sales. I wonder how he would consider CIG's actions.

BTW if you have any ammunition I could use I would appreciate it.

I recommend the Rift because of those sweet exclusives that are coming their way. Vive is good, but doesn't have that gently caress you Facebook money behind it to back it up.

or you can get revive and play them. I would rather push oculus to open the store up beyond the rift to all headsets.

Apparently you posting here is excuse enough for folks to come in here and poo poo the thread without the mods taking any action (other than reverting probations).

I need you to make a couple of on topic posts every day on a few of the most popular threads in Games such as "Warframe (PC/PS4)", "Pokemen Megathread 7.0", "Stellaris" or "Elite Dangerous". I'm sure the people in those threads will appreciate being repeatedly informed that "doxxing is bad and you shouldn't make death threats".

Well it's cold at the bottom of the ocean and we already killed Leonardo once, so we try to avoid things like that twice.

But I can tell you that they'd slip the Hindenburg slowly between my frozen, corroded corridors until I felt the warm, sweet touch of fresh air bubbling up between my thick ventilation shafts once again. The swell of the air would make long dead masts rosy and firm with the thought of slowly bursting upwards, through the oceans surface, to let the heat of the sun bathe me in its gentle touch.

Here is an artistic rendition of all the people struggling to get climb aboard me once they learn I'm eligible again. It's nice to be a lady on the market where so many people want to jump on me the moment they have the opportunity!
