I did. They never responded. I posted in their forum, and only got responses from non-employees. The only way I could get someone to acknowledge I had a problem was to take the money back.

2008. Launch of the game.

If I open the PC game and the disc is broken, I can take it back and exchange it, at a minimum. And I could actually talk to someone. No one from either company would talk to me. At all.

Well my issue is there was ZERO way to ensure contact with Steam. There’s no phone number, just an email black hole and a forum that has non-employees answering questions. I didn’t have a transaction with Deep Silver, I didn’t give Deep Silver money. I gave Steam money. This wasn’t an instance that Steam responded and…

You’re googling in 2022. This was in 2008. If I buy something at Target, and it doesn’t work, I can return it to Target and deal with CS at Target without regard for the reason (for the most part). If I buy a TV from Amazon (from Amazon, not a 3rd party), and it stops working after 3 days, I don’t have to call HCL. I…

On your point B, I whole heartedly disagree. Because Steam is ONLY a middle man but also controls access to every game I have bought through them, they have the ability to lock me out of every game. When STALKER Clear Skies came out (2008?) I bought it. In chasing instability in the game, I’d reinstalled Windows a few…

Don’t tell them about the Game Genie.

Again, apologies, it wasn’t in Nintendo Power, it was in the Official Nintendo Player’s Guide from 1987 on page 31:

Sorry, it was in the Official Nintendo Player’s Guide from 1987. I was being hyperbolic, though. This wasn’t a ‘secret’.

I was a 7 year old 40 minutes from Philly and I knew it in 1987. Sorry your parents didn’t love you enough to spend $10 a year on Nintendo Power in the 80's, I guess?

Yeah, this has been known since the game came out. It was in Nintendo Power back then. I was 6 or 7 years old at the time and that was always a thing.

Also lie/manipulate/withhold info in those appeals about living wages. Don’t forget that.

Nintendo would buy them before anyone else. They already bankrolled them for Bayo 2 and 3.

They talked about it back when it looked like they were going to go under any minute. They need to become a place that has weekly Smash tournaments that don’t do anything but give out a trophy or something (aka no cash prizes and a like, $5 entry fee) Sell snacks and stuff. Do Pokemon and MTG game nights, etc. Just…

More people that know him saying he isn’t right:

He doesn’t LOOK healthy at this point though. Like, not that he’s injured, but he’s got something far worse healthwise going on. I know there was whispers of cancer or something in the off season, but after seeing him the past few weeks, I wouldn’t be shocked if that’s the case. And this mf is psycho enough to try and…

Yeah like, there should be SOME call backs, because thats why we love it and Ralphie and Randy the kids aren’t kids anymore, but it should, effectively stand by itself.

As long as it takes place 39 years after the original (so in the late 70s/early 80s) and not ‘today’, it could be pretty cool. Ralphie with his kids and see how differently he does his parenting?

I mean, she said she wanted $X and they said “That’s too much” and made a counter offer, which she also rejected. At that point they hired Jennifer Hale, and STILL offered Taylor a cameo role for $4000. She rejected that and went scorched earth about it. The director is apparently a huge dick (at least on Twitter, but…
