Lobby Connection Error

[Kalgeth]

Toxic? What's "toxic" about suggesting that a company should compensate it's customers for failing to keep up their end of a paid contract? Explain that to me.

Also, as for this "Plus, its early access and not the official release," that's like saying it's OK that your phone doesn't work because it's Monday. It makes zero sense. I was paying for service yesterday and I'm paying for service today but today I don't have service and yesterday I did. That has nothing, whatsoever, to do with early access vs official release.

Since you took my post personally, I am guessing you identify as one of the aforementioned category of consumer. I will explain my point of view, which is all it will ever be nor will I claim it to be fact. We can sit here and type scenarios and examples that support our opinion. Early access is early access for a reason, if not why keep the official date for the 7th? Think logically about it, this period is to gauged how things are running, almost like an open beta, with the expectation to resolve any major impacting issues before the release date. This also plays into legal and service agreements. My opinion is that people demanding compensation for things that are not in the control of a company is laughable. Do you blame your cell phone company for allowing the spam calls we experience regarding your cars warranty? No. That same logic can be applied to this scenario, the number of people who want to play is not a controlled factor, can they prepare for it, of course. Will it still negatively affect consumers, yes. Do I have a solution, no does SE, perhaps they are working on it. However, demanding to notify the FTC and any other entity of this type is crazy.
