More bullshit from Massive Shithead
Inge:
Did MaxoidSam ever get back to any of the people who volunteered to be beta testers?
veilchen:
The ones I talked to haven't heard from EAxis, and to be frank, I would've been very surprised if they had.
I'm guessing the 'no return if opened' is because people can install the game and play it for free - and if it needs the cd, they can run it with a no Cd crack. So once again the honest customer gets treated as a potential thief. It's not as if getting a game for free by other means is a big problem now, is it?
I also worked in retail and I know exactly what you mean, Neriana. I only worked there part time to pay the bills, but I've seen some crappy shit happening to the poor sales-floor people. As if they could change company policy on a whim. Yah. Right. Some people could do with a reality check. If they had that kind of power, they wouldn't be on the sales-floor getting just above minimum wage now, would they?
nil:
no, a real plunge in sale for SP and EP with secuROM is still the most effective way to speak out.
Most people won't bother to file a complaint about secuROM coz they can simply move on to something else without it. They may not even bother to whine for $30 and just take it a well-learnt lesson about a company.
Inge:
I am not surprised to hear there has been no further contact wrt this. I jumped through all the same hoops with Cooper Buckingham right near the beginning of the Sims 2 series - him asking for names of experienced modders, my name being among those provided, him letting me know about this new move to work with some reps from the community, and telling me he would soon provide further details and .... wait for it ... still waiting? ... THE END!

All you'll accomplish by throwing a shitfit in a store is to ruin someone's day. You might get your way, but I was always far less inclined to give irate or otherwise obnoxious customers what they wanted than people who were reasonable and civil, and who generally treated me like I was a human being and not a robot slave sent to thwart their whims. I didn't want the tantrum-throwers to be happy with what they got, I wanted them to stay away. Everyone I've worked with in retail has felt the same. We don't like being treated like crap any more than customers do.
As an ex-retail worker (having to deal with entertainment gizmos, games included) I agree with every word you said, neriana.
The other thing you'll accomplish by throwing a shitfit, is having people laugh at you when you leave, for being an idiot, basically*. Not just from employees, but other people in the store. A number of times after dealing with a shithead, another customer waiting in line has commiserated about what an idiot the person in front was. Those encounters always made me feel a bit better :D
* And depending on how badly you act you can evn earn yourself a bad reputation in the store, heh.
