Well first off for everyone hating on bfV if you dumbasses would READ the fine print it says… get IMMEDIATE access to weapons. SOOOO most likely this last update for B1 in june dice will include the weapons just like they did last month with that included silenced sniper and other guns. After june they’ll be an update every two months.
I blame those who abused the system by pre ordering for betas/dlc etc then canceling their pre order.
You do realize that sony is not the only ones who now ask for immediate payment on pre orders? And that all these companies will soon follow suit with immediate payment required for pre orders that give you access to things before release.
Again instead of blaming the companies who are simply defending themselves from those that abuse the system,blame the ones gaming the system that spoilt it for everyone else.
I very rarely do it, but pre-ordering is a gauge for something being a good idea or a potential success, not a guarantee of income. FFS you can cancel even after you’ve bought it by law in most markets just because you change your mind. Cancelling a pre-order is nothing.
So, yes, Sony are gouging their customers if they don’t allow cancelling of pre-order easily. And if they don’t give a refund when the game hasn’t even released yet, then that’s against the law in some regions, nevermind bad customer relations.
Look at Steam. You can even play for a couple of hours and they still refund. It’s call good customer service.
So you think pre ordering a product to get access to a beta/guns etc and then cancelling the pre order is perfectly fine and that any company that takes measures to discourage this behaviour means they dont have good customer service?
Fyi sony do and will refund if required they simply made it harder to game the pre order system,again sony are not the only ones to do this and certainly wont be the last.
Its because of the entitled people like yourself that abused the pre order system that these changes were made,the blame lies squarely on users like yourself,as usual the minority abusing the system spoiled it for the rest of us.
As I said, I rarely do it and, if I do cancel pre-order, it will be because I don’t like the game when I try the beta, not because I wanted to cheat some a mega-corporation out of some pixels.
I suggested it as an option because people were wailing and moaning about the weapons being pre-order only. If they are so so upset, they can pre-order, get the weapons and cancel.
I did not say it was the right thing to do, but since the option is there, the moaning and complaining is pretty redundant.
Anyway, it’s hardly “gaming the system” to pre-order and then decide you don’t want the game. Also, as I said, you can get a refund after purchase, by law, if you change your mind. It’s not ‘gaming the system’ it’s consumer rights.
