You thought that version of ET was bad? You should have seen it on the Atari 2600! It STUNK! Also, a few more of my worst games from the Atari: Haunted House (Terrible since almost everything is in the dark... just a little match to light the way; sounds are terrible) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zVJK6_Wx7rU Adventure (You were a cursor that ran arround
no worries. thanks
Ron - With all due respect a Beta version of any product is not the final product. I've been involved with plenty of hardware and software development to know the difference. And no, none of the products I've been involved with have required Beta customers to fork over cash at any point. Anyways, the issue has been resolved. Thank you very much to Stardock Sales for doing the right thing. I really appreciate it. cheers, steve
How important could what be? It's got nothing to do with a baby and a job. It has to do with paying for a product that I don't even have in my hands yet and asking for my money back before it is in my hands. Not an unreasonable request I should think. I didn't have to give a reason, but did to avoid personal attacks. Clearly not a wise strategy on my part. cheers and sorry to have wasted anyone's time, steve
Doctor J- Thanks! I don't have any tokens and I don't plan on getting rid of my GalCivII Trilogy (single-player games I may be able to find time for ;) ). So I don't have a desire to transfer the account. At this point I think I've "justified" the purchase to myself (and beautiful wife) by reselling many of my old titles... some, surprisingly, for full purchase price. Yarlen - If publishers want a piece of the "used game" pie, why not setup a system that allows your customers to do thi
Hmmm... Maybe there is a market for this! A secure way to resell/transfer accounts for a cut of the sales prices. Almost like selling a "real"/"physical" game on Ebay or Amazon. Sounds like I'm stuck this this. Thanks for trying, steve
As I recall the GuildWars series had/has similar issues. At least a couple of years ago some were complaining about the ability to resell used copies. I don't think the issue was ever solved. I hope this isn't the future trend of game sales. It would stink not being able to recoup part of the cost of games you no longer play. steve
Thanks guys. Maybe there is a way around this to make my happy without imposing difficulties on Stardock. How easy is it to re-sell a game like this and transfer your serial code? I've never really tried. Maybe that's what I'll do (assuming I haven't found time again somehow between now and the release date). cheers, chewy PS - My only real issue with the return policy is that they kinda penalize those who order early. I do understand why they have the policy though.
Oh! I didn't mean a bad life changing event! Thanks for the concern though. It is actually a convergence of: new better job with longer commute and a new child. The latter is what is really eating into my free time. I figure I only have time for one new title (latest GalCivII expansion). I'm in the process of liquidating all my other titles. cheers, steve
Hmmmm. I just got a less than hoped for response. Apparantly Stardock doesn't refund software that is in Beta or some such thing? I haven't even played the Beta. Note that this isn't a software quality issue or anything. I just had a life-changing event that is going to prevent any "gaming" for the foreseable future. Thanks again, steve PS- I am actively working this issue with the sales people. I am just hoping someone has better answers here.
How do I go about getting a refund for this product? Given that it is still in Beta I assume refunds are not an issue? thanks in advance, steve
