This kinda only sounds bad as far as addictions to buzzwords go. As soon as you say something isn’t something or doesn’t have something, the reaction tends to be “UGH, but why not!?”

Hilariously so when you consider how XII has become more and more popular over time as people reconsidered their visceral first reactions to it and thought something other than “I FEAR CHANGE! AAAH!”

It’s a matter of perspective, not selective cognitive dissonance, and maybe trying not to be a combative troll-bait net-gremlin.

Goddamn this was harder to watch than most foodies I’ve seen.

Dear god, no.

They took the breakfast bowl off the menu.

I think it’s more that I’ve worked in similar industries and understand that it’s not going to be perfect 100% of the time, and precious little hearts can misinterpret their experiences as proof that the sky is falling.

Holy shit, I just remembered how this argument you want to keep having actually started.

I think your lack of reading comprehension and ravenous confirmation bias showed you why you can call it poorer customer service.

This makes me happier than I feel it should, since I’m more a fan of Bloodborne than Souls.

From a retailer like GameStop or Amazon, sure. This isn’t fucking Wal-Mart though. This is THE developer/publisher. They don’t own and manage every level of the product being sent to you. Do you see an option for them to do this shit?

You preorder a product, you pay money based on your state tax and shipping expenditures. That money is paying for said product, and paying for shipping and handling.

Then they need to cancel several services that have been paid based on where it is shipping per the request of the original order and purchase. Y’know... the ones that actually ship stuff across land and oceans and through weather and state lines and so on.

People don’t move frequently enough for companies to need to account for that contingency. That’s WHY we have mail forwarding. They’ve got way more than one customer that they need to take care of. It’s your money, it’s your investment. Of it means that much to you, secure it appropriately.

Then get a forwarding address to compensate for varied state taxes and all that other stuff.

And now you’ve explained why all MOBA games that try to have a story bug the living shit outta me.

I’ve adored Bastion since he was announced, before Overwatch came out and he had that OP-as-fuck shield on him, but this took that weird Wall-E association to a darker place.

It was really depressing when Mega Man essentially stepped into the grave with him and started pulling dirt over the top of them, but Sonic and his fandom keep trying to dig their way out.

They’re mailing expensive luxury shit to you from across the ocean and you didn’t make your preorder with regards to your plans to move across state lines.
