pimpmonkey2382.313: That's if it's happened exactly as he's stated.
Indeed. There's three sides to every story. :)
GR00T: Setting aside that the info was in a review by a GOG member, I actually think this should be in the game's description. This is not a normal way to set up multiplayer in a game. It's downright weird, actually, and as such should be noted on the game page.
Just my 2 cents.
I think that is a reasonable expectation also, hopefully Judas or someone can add a:
* NOTE: The multiplayer mode of this game is an extension of the single-player mode rather than being standalone multiplayer. reworded to be clear+terse+unambiguous.
Fairfox: It doesn't matter if you played for three secs, three mins, three hours, three days, three weeks, three months, three years or three decades; you downloadededed teh gaemz and as such could easily back it up and pretend to delete/not back up, to get a free gaem. Peeps are not honest on-le-line (or in general!) and I don't know why you want a business to be extra-wextra trustingz.
It seeeeems moar like... 'Request for refund granted even though others were denied' is act. teh correct way around. Rather than lament your denial, be happy 'n' surprised your father was granted his moolah back, as he wasn't meant to.
Still! Mebbe you'll get a 'one-time' store credit thingy for being persistent. S'long as it's one-time and you, likeee, act. research next tiemz?
That's all true of course, but GOG does issue refunds to people if they can not get the game to work and support can't get it to work either. If someone wanted to lie and cheat to get free games this way, they could just say "doesn't work" and the back and forth with support could be a complex mess of no-way-to-fix-it lies and nonsense "uh, the game crashes every time... what does General Protection mean? There are a bunch of numbers and letters on the screen, want me to read you all of these random numbers for 5 minutes so you can fix it?"
GOG response <we're issuing a refund for you, sorry you had trouble with the game>
So I don't think that argument really means much since people can still lie about things and rip them off. They're more or less trusting the customer because there are other easier ways for people to rip off GOG games than going through all the nonsense to purchase it and return it and pretend it didn't work or other shenanigans.
