His rapping skills on the other hand... Are even worse.

The entire mobile industry is garbage, though. Games are specifically made to prey on people who will dump hundreds and hundreds of dollars into microtransactions.

I don’t think rational thinking played a part in this man’s decision making process.

LOL. And the internet know-it-alls immediately show up to tell me how wrong I am. Seriously d-bags, fuck off. No one gives a shit if you don’t like what I just said. I know it’s not the same as over serving. I even said that above. It is pretty fucking similar though. And YES, the company should bare some…

How is this not basically the equivalent of over serving someone at a bar? I mean, I can get in some pretty serious trouble if i let someone get completely shitfaced and they go out and run someone down cause even though they were visibly way too drunk I kept serving them. No one died here I mean, but it seems pretty…

Paying for a product doesn’t entitle you to respect from the company when you randomly snark at them for vague reasons or treat the company rudely. If you think it does, then you are either very young, very naive, very entitled or all three.

Without reading the CSR’s job description or knowing what their manager expects of them, I don’t have any idea whether they ‘needed’ to answer the tweet or not. Neither do you. All we can do is guess.

Yea. I worked retail for 10 years, and one of the biggest assholes I ever got was from some rotten bitch complaining about everything, and justifying with “I’m a manager at Kohl’s, so I know how things work” like that made her a god or something. 

Fired? You are being ridiculous. The employee’s job is to try to address customer problems as well as they can, it is NOT to ‘represent the company in the best light possible’. A CSR doesn’t have the power or responsibility to take the kind of actions that would be necessary to resolve every person’s problem - which…

Gotta go with craigthejollyfatman on this one; the response the rep produced isn’t even in the same ballpark as being “abusive” toward a customer. It’s a little snarky, but that’s about it.

At worst, I’d say the rep deserves a verbal reprimand (on the order of, “hey, maybe don’t do that”). Termination of employment…

I dunno, the service industry also produces a ton of sadists...from backstabbing and thieving coworkers, to malicious asshole managers, to inhuman doubletalking upper management/ownership the service industry is disproportionately stocked with terrible people. Sure, there is camaraderie and empathy for other service…

While I do agree that having everyone work some customer service in their lifetime would be beneficial to empathy and whatnot, my Ex was definitely one of those people that treated people in customer service without much care because she worked in a call center. People come in all flavors I guess.

That exactly, it is the same as mandatory volunteering (is it still volunteering if you are required to do it?) for high school. The positive is, some community service is done, but that resources will typically be gone once their time is up.

You give humanity too much credit.  It’s horrifically much more simple than that - some people just don’t care.

I dunno, I worked as a Tier 1 tech for a residential VOIP service (no, not that one, the other one.... no, the other other one....) and while I do treat service people better for it, I started to ****ing hate humanity afterwards.

It’s a give and take, I guess.

How long till we’re just shooting people at borders? Not trying to be glib but I’m wondering if they would actually go down that route.

76 is also the sort of game that would need its own launcher anyway if it wasn’t wrapped in a larger company-driven launcher.

You would have died pre-2010 when every game had to be bought on its own

The alternative is Steam having a full monopoly on PC games sales. I say let other companies compete with them.

One non-intrusive feature you won’t use gets installed and you throw the whole program out.
