Well, you trusted Brad McQuaid. You should have known better after his performance on Everquest.

5342

The answer is about 40 pages back.

5343

Wow, that’s really helpful of you.

5344

Sorry, that’s kind of a dick answer right there.

5345

Well considering every time I did say why all I received were posts telling me not to complain about other forum problems on this forum. See my point?

Here’s the reason why: http://www.quartertothree.com/game-talk/showthread.php?p=2362763#post2362763
Page 147 has a couple of posts telling me not to drag other forum issues here.
Oh, and here’s the best reply. I’m sure you can see why I can’t be bothered re-iterating the issue when this place has posters such as this: http://www.quartertothree.com/game-talk/showpost.php?p=2363217&postcount=4415

If you don’t like the culture around here, please feel free to move along to somewhere more welcoming. I’m certain the Internet is just full of forums desperate for a bit more passive-aggressive anti-Stardock ranting.

Being a dick to ioticus because other people were mean to you is…interesting.

At any rate, your explanation for why you got a refund remains far from clear. Are you implying that you annoyed brad personally so he gave you your money back and told you to fuck off?

5349

I hate saying this, as it will encourage more trolling, but that tactic has worked at least once in the past, as I mentioned earlier.

Then again, in a case such as Elemental, I think full refunds should be offered to anyone who wishes (though I don’t wish one and am looking forward to how the game develops) up to patch 1.10.

Your comment is exactly why I didn’t want to say it again. It’s not that I don’t like the culture, it’s that a couple of posters were unwelcoming to a fellow member who was participating in a discussion thread.

So you suggest I bring it up again and incite more of the same comments towards my post? THAT is… as you say… interesting. Ioticus asked a question, and I directed him to where the answer was.

What’s unclear? I paid to be a beta-tester, gave feedback, got flamed by Brad Wardell and banned from their forums. As you can imagine that pissed me off and I demanded a refund as I didn’t want anything to do with a company that flames and bans their beta testers for giving exactly what they asked for, feedback.

The only thing that could have truly saved SD’s reputation as a software developer that handles things differently would have been a full product recall, like you can occasionally see with cars or electrical appliances.

In the software world, this is something unheard of, but Elemental’s state of complete brokenness would probably have warranted it.

Financially independent or not, I can see how SD probably lacks the funds to go through with something like that, but if they had the funds, at least they could have continued to point their fingers at others and proclaim: “See, nobody but us ever did that - we realized we messed up and stood up to the consequences.”, which now they can not.

No-one is asking for your potted history with Brad. WE ALL KNOW.

The question was how did you get your refund?

5353

He demanded it, obv.

5354

But, but, but, page after page of him telling us they wouldn’t give a refund! :)

5355

Actually, in post #5297 maxle did in fact ask WHY I got the refund.

See why I didn’t want to bring it up again? Cuz of posts like yours.

5356

I wasn’t the one saying that. I always said I was chasing a refund. Learn to read mate. :)

5357

Uh.

You see how that’s a complete non-answer and that’s what sparked this little melee? You were asked “how”. Your answer was a brush-off that ultimately didn’t even respond to “how”, just another whine about your treatment.

Yes, you said multiple times you were being ignored. The question is what changed? What happened differently for you to end up getting the refund when previously you weren’t able to?

That might actually be a useful bit of information for people I dunno

5358

40 pages back in one of those posts of mine I did actually say I had requested a refund. Not entirely unhelpful, but definitely in the realm of being a smartass. ;)

Saying I was being ignored is not the same as saying they won’t give it to me as you said. I said I was being ignored in my daily requests for updates. I followed the advice in this post: http://www.quartertothree.com/game-talk/showpost.php?p=2371470&postcount=5072

I waited instead of requesting an update every day.

5359

“I didn’t do anything, just waited and they eventually sorted it out”.

See, that wasn’t so hard now was it?

5360

Except if someone followed what you just typed, then nothing would happen. They would have to “Request refund from support” first. And that’s what I said many pages ago, that I’d requested a refund from support. ;)

When maxle asked why I got a refund I answered. What’s so hard to understand about that?
