well...yeah. I do. lol. That what I'm saying. But, it may not have been. Maybe it was just an innocent consequence of the way things are set up on the store. But now, a week later after it's become obvious people are making the mistake? How bout putting a note in big read lettering on the mtx buy page that it's in fact NOT the power pack? Something at least...although the damage has already been done really. It's the "shut up and take my money" folks who will get bit by this not the late comers who are just looking at what's there for dlc for the game.
we're not talking about a mortgage or legal documents here. We're talking about a game add on. It's not that hard to imagine someone assuming the buy button that just appeared for the first time on their screen for a thing they have been expecting for weeks on the day it was expected for the price they have been expecting is in fact the thing they have been expecting rather than some other thing nobody was expecting.
I work with the general public, and i am witness to a disturbing number of people who aren't paying the slightest bit of attention to what they are/aren't paying for and often how much it costs. Only when the transaction is completed do they turn around and try and blame the nearest working person for their mistake. In this sense i understand the gist of the comment you're replying to here.
Right. Yet, somehow, people still managed to screw that up. Imagine what these people will do when hit with a short story worth documents to sign. You can litigate all you want to, you’re still going to be held liable. I guess that’s why they call it “PAYING attention”.
I’d only call it exploitative if they’ve never had an offer to purchase credits there before.
But yes... actually, I bought that Power Pack... don't worry... I didn't make the same mistake twice... 😂 😂
OK so what you're saying is a company like Sony bears no responsibility wrt this sort of thing? They can do anything they want and never have to answer for anything? Buyer beware is the final word and Sony can use whatever tactics they want.
so when an update comes out for say WRC or something and it includes a few new cars and a track for a given price ... say $15, there's always an un-announced coincidental update for another thing nobody wants that is also $15 and happens to get featured prominently instead of the update that was announced?
Again, it really don't think it was the intention of Sony or anyone there to be tricking anyone.
You should change your name to
hahaha "announced." Patch notes. Jeez. With that kind of publicity I'm shocked there wasn't a 200 page thread about the upcoming 5M credit mtx release!
If you went to the grocery in a rush to buy some eggs and bought some oranges because they were by the door and the same price as the eggs, is the grocery store liable?
DO you mean when you START THE GAME and it shows you a giant pirate ship?
For those who were looking for the Power Pack, it would be the GIANT ICON that says Power Pack, not the giant icon that does not say power pack.
Please do not reinterpret what I have very clearly stated and restated to you.
OK fair enough. Sorry for being a little facetious. I just find it sort of wild that - in light of the fact that we're talking about the first purchasable DLC for the game...kind of a big deal - the thing that appears on the screen there is in fact not that dlc but another "add on pack" costing the same amount. I guess if that's the only way it could work then so be it.
