You're very very wrong. Give it a try, go buy a game from gamestop. Open it and play it. After a day, try and return a open game and get $60 back. You will not.

The game also is not broken. the point about custom software is that you violated terms of refund. The fact is though my point was still to _fair_ to the customer. He didn't violate the refund terms, he never actually qualified for a refund.

I'm going to sound grouchy, but get over the sensationalist entitlement. It's a fair point to be annoyed about online drm... That is entirely valid.

It is not valid to jump over EA, over this guys rant. He never qualified for a refund, the game is not defective, and he comes off as an entitled-prick.

1) I'd get another game. Same difference. Point is I'd get to keep the value of my money in a different product.

2) can they play the game? No. Then its broken.

3) He should qualify for a refund because EA is not holding up their part of the contract. They have not delivered a working product on the date they said it would work.

EA made a promise when they took his pre-order. That promise said they'd deliver the game he was saying he was buying. They instead gave him a worthless download. All of them who don't want to wait, should be allowed refunds minus their pre-order bonuses if applicable. This not expecting anything beyond what is appropriate consumer protections.


.. No actually... You can't just take one stance, and then take the opposite and say "SAME THING!!" In one instance you get $60 back, in the other you do not... even if you get some type of game. (Pro tip: Check out reddit, there are plenty of people who have done what you suggest + actually get a refund.)

Yes the game can be played. You wait in a queue, you can still play. I'm sorry you can't "GIVE ME NOW"

Question, when steam servers go down and a game that utilised steam servers stops working, do they now get a refund? Is Steam the evil empire? Why not? In that instance the game literally doesn't work, there is no queue.

Again. All those people are getting refunds, it was this Ass who decided not to read.
