  1. Upper Echelon Gamers : They will Kill the Pre-Order Market, at this rate? I would never download a game, anyway. I like to OWN the hard copy. That doesn’t make me less, “passionate.” Just careful.

  2. Jamie Arnold : You didn’t listen to the, “words, spoken.” You reacted to negative, “buzz phrases,” that triggered your negative response

  3. Lord Gong : If Epic ever does, “really,” get better, it will be because of journalism like this. Which is what it’s for. Do you go to stores and complain that the guy behind the till is, “still serving customers?” Whatever . . .

  4. Neuro : After 15 years, working in AAA games, your on, “shit pay,” and express nothing but contempt the people who pay your wages (the gamers) but, you don’t see the connection, there? Get a new job, instead of bitching at the people you SHOULD feel SOME humility toward? I mean, OK, the customer is not ALWAYS right, but if you hate us THAT much, FUCK OFF, and find something you LIKE doing. My brother has worked in the industry for about the same length of time as you (Rockstar) and he’s had it rough sometimes, but he’s never been a dick to the customers, biting the hand that feeds him. LEAVE your job. You will not be missed . . . Smh

  5. ErroneousClique : Neuro Fucking HATES us? What kind of ATTITUDE is THAT? And they wonder WHY we have so many problems with them? I mean, sure, the customer is not always right, but, FFS??? Maybe he’s never been promoted into a, “decent paid,” position, because his attitude stinks? He should quit and do something where he doesn’t HATE the people he works for?

  6. ErroneousClique : Imagine you bought a car, and had to make payments on it, over the course of a year, say? Imagine, after you get the car home, you find a letter on your doorstep, telling you that your first payment was insufficient, and they’re threatening a repo? A couple of calls later, you discover your contract now belongs to a different sales company, the terms and conditions of your contract are completely different, and the ONLY thing that’s iron clad about it, is your signature, meaning you either do it their way, or lose your car? And, if their way was the PRECISE way that you DIDN’T want to do it, which was WHY you signed up to the deal you, “thought,” you had, what will you do? I’ll tell you what you’ll do. Absolutely NOTHING. Because there’s NOTHING you can do. That’s why it matters. This may be a considerably scaled down analogy (just a game), but with so MANY customers, the financial rewards for such a scam, work on a truly massive scale. It’s a con. People deliberately AVOID certain platforms, because they make REAL, FINANCIAL, DIFFERENCES to terms and conditions, where the game you, “thought,” you owned becomes impossible to play, unless you pay REAL money for the, “Surprise Mechanics.” That which you wanted to avoid, and which you KNOW the company you thought you were buying from does NOT do, becomes the only reality. I agreed with your latter points. But, your opening point overlooks all of that. It’s a serious con, which will hurt the industry, because people will refuse to pre-order, and many will hold off buying games at all, until they’ve been going long enough for people to be sure there are no shenanigans going on. It matters a great deal, my friend ✌️
