This is the discussion thread for an article on GTPlanet:
How about refunding the difference in price between the normal game and the special editions, instead of one crappy car and some useless stickers.The game is just bad, I get it. And I'm definitely not defending KT... But why is an exclusive car a bad thing now? Because it's a variant of a model already in game? What do people expect? Do some expect them to model a new car just for compensation? Cheesus..
What? How is that a compensation? You just want free stuff... And how is that better than an exclusive car?How about refunding the difference in price between the normal game and the special editions, instead of one crappy car and some useless stickers.
You paid for a thing you didn't get. Being paid back for the thing you didn't get is literally the definition of "compensation" (amends for loss, substitute for equal value, remunerate).What? How is that a compensation?
But we got everything we paid for. Compensation is meant for the servers not working properly during early access. 2 different things. It was difficult to play the game not impossible.You paid for a thing you didn't get. Being paid back for the thing you didn't get is literally the definition of "compensation" (amends for loss, substitute for equal value, remunerate).
Getting something else instead isn't that.
It was impossible for two days at least because they took the server offline... I know, I was there, and it was during the review period. They literally emailed me to tell me about it before, during, to apologise during, and after.But we got everything we paid for. Compensation is meant for the servers not working properly during early access. 2 different things. It was difficult to play the game not impossible.
He clearly still have all the content that comes with Gold. The same content anyone that buy Gold edition today is getting. In terms of Gold content, nothing was lost. The game didn't work properly because of server issues not the game being broken."Compensation" literally means to remunerate (give money back) or provide something of equal value to that which was lost.
You see this is exactly why I don't get this outrage. It's an exclusive car. Nobody else can get it. How is this not a proper gift? I can't think of a better thing for servers not working properly during early access. I mean the servers don't work properly even today.One car variant of an existing one and five "premium" stickers is not of equal value to what was lost.
The pre-ordered Gold Edition didn't just come with content. It came with a benefit that nobody could access. As did the pre-ordered Silver Sharps/Streets Editions.He clearly still have all the content that comes with Gold.
It is not of equal value to what was lost: early access benefits.You see this is exactly why I don't get this outrage. It's an exclusive car. Nobody else can get it. How is this not a proper gift?
Everyone else can though: a partial refund for a portion of the additional price hike appropriate to loss of the included benefit.I can't think of a better thing for servers not working properly during early access.
This is an appeal to emotion. Try not assuming "outrage" and instead assume entirely calm dislike and objection.I don't get this outrage.
You didn't pay for early access, you pre-ordered the game for early access. Gold edition is still priced the same.Everyone else can though: a partial refund for a portion of the additional price hike appropriate to loss of the included benefit.
Yes, I know. It was in an unquoted bit of the post you just quoted:You didn't pay for early access, you pre-ordered the game for early access. Gold edition is still priced the same.
Not getting an advertised benefit requires recompense.People who buy the Silver/Gold editions now know they're not getting the Beta, VIP Beta, or Early Access bundled in. Those who pre-ordered it didn't know that they weren't getting the Early Access, so paid for something they didn't get.
Pre-order is free.Not getting an advertised benefit requires recompense.
Pre-ordering the base game got you nothing (except the not-having-to-buy-a-Ford GT-when-you-levelled-up-enough). Pre-ordering the Silver got you two days' early access (and Beta access). Pre-ordering the Gold got you seven days' early access (and Beta and VIP Beta access).Pre-order is free.
Ok, now I get it. Most of you obviously believe you paid for pre-order. While I think that pre-order is just act of confirming my purchase. That obviously come with some benefits.these were pre-order benefits priced into the game editions that players did not get.
If that's your conclusion, clearly you don't get it.Ok, now I get it. Most of you obviously believe you paid for pre-order.
