would the "white knights" give a pass if this happen in other industries?

[tuckerpb2]

an example. if you ordered a new car. they delivered it on the day promised, but you find out you have to pull on the door handle a random number of times before the door will open and let you in. Also if the lock glitches out. you will have to start over again with a new number.

or an plane trip. you bought your ticked. you go to the counter and check in. now you have to wait in line to board the plane. at any time you could be knocked out of line and forced to recheck in and get back into the line.

or you go to a hotel. you pay for a room. now to get to the floor your room is on. you have to take the elevator. only so many people are allowed on the floor at a time/ there is a guard there. only letting people get on when other people leave. Then wile standing in line. the guard tell you there is a problem. you get knocked out of line. then have to recheck in, and get back in line. at the end.

How many "white knights" would defend these. as they do gaming companies.
Also this is there 4-5 expansion. has the company not learn anything?

Whataboutism is Not A Good Look, My Dude.

Yep, it's a very nonsensical talking point, and it doesn't solve any real problems, but Whataboutism is depressingly effective.

I get people are upset, I really do. I've had to realign my sleeping habits as if I lived somewhere in Europe just to completely beat the queue down to double-digit numbers; which not everyone has the luxury of doing.


I've been on this ride for a long time and they've always appeared to be genuinely forthcoming about what problems they run into, and if they were able to open up another data center, let alone a server- I believe that they
absolutely would; they've proven to us in the past that this is what they would do if the population got out of control.

But we all know why they can't, the whole industry is suffering from the shortage of computing parts; this is not a secret.

Don't do it yo. You're going to end up in a never-ending fight.

Depends on the company.

Active:no
Bandi yes
Nintendo: yes
Ubisoft/sega yes
Bioware: hell ya

It depends on how bad the total history is. Se has a rather great history.

Also far as i remember this expansion is only one with this issue massive increae in players with hard to get parts to hold everyone tbh.

Really? Outside of the FF14 team, what great history does SE have atm with launches?

History covers everything not just launches and it counts irl actions as well.

Example Blizzard makes am expansion fires a large amount of works right after almost everone of theres. Then player wins they refuse to give him his price for calling oyt china out of no poltics rule two days later gets political.
Their players boo a mobile game what they do insult them and still go with it.
Then they toss out unfinished ganes and have puritan views from the 18th century basically.
Ea just massive greed reselling same game 15 times plus times.

Actovision almost same deaks.

Se humbly talks, feels bad when things go wrong and they give you a Finished game. Yes the first few days msy be hard but if you dont expect that in ganes your not a gamer.
