But I'd expect a website that imagines itself as offering objective, factual analysis to do a better job of pointing out the shortcomings in a game and its attendant online service.
I don't think anyone here has ever offered objective analysis and the only time anything we do is factual is purely due to statistical anomaly. Pretty much the whole point of the site is subjective commentary. |

4. Demanding a refund on a lifetime subscription is idiotic.

I think the only time we ever claimed to be objective is in an interview. And even then, out of however many, only 2 or 3 times were we even remotely objective.

Does the site still say "We distort, we decide" somewhere on it?

I think newcomers tend to confuse "not slurping copious amounts of advertiser dick" with "objective".

He got the refund. Who's the idiot? Everyone who didn't, that's who. Yeah, but he was stupid clever enough to fork over 150 bucks for nothing in the first place. And then had to become a weepy bitch outraged consumer to get that refund. Who wins? Bored people at work following these threads.  |

I really feel bad, also I blame Schild. I talked the game up, in a very reserved way, and one bought it. He started playing before I did, he likes it, I'm completely over the fucking mess of a game. Now he wants me to play with him...
Fucking Schild's fault amirite?
The thing is, in this modern world where there are many online games to pick between, a launch that puts a bad taste in my mouth will end it for a game. I can't even look at HG:L anymore, it looks fugly, it feels stupid, I hate the backrounds and I can't stand the worthless stupid skill trees. I know it could have been fun but once your not having fun I never desire to go back. EVE & WoW are the only games I've ever re-subbed to, WoW was due to pressure from so many people I knew playing it.

I hate to say it, but people shouldn't be rewarded for making stupid decisions like lifetime subscriptions.
Personally I am happy for you schild, but justicewise this is just plain wrong.

He got the refund. Who's the idiot? Everyone who didn't, that's who. The fact he received a refund makes him no less of an idiot, the same sort of idiot that intentionally pours a cup of hot coffee purchased at McDonald's onto his crotch, threatens to sue McD's via a demand letter accompanied by graphic photos of the 3rd degree burns on his genitals, and then receives cash from McDonald's in a settlement of his claim. That's your boy Schild. Just ask him to show you his badly-scarred genitals. |

The coffee analogy would make more sense if he went in expecting to enjoy a nice, hot cup of coffee and found that that it was scalding hot coca-cola instead. And THEN he poured it all over his naughty bits.

3. It isn't the case that patch after patch went by with no mention of fixing memory leaks. Several patches included memory leak fixes (or at least attempted fixes), as detailed in the patch notes. Most recently (I believe in the 0.6 patch), the developers claim to have have fixed a serious memory leak resulting from examing items in your inventory.

I don't get how Schild is supposed to be an idiot, here. The $150 gave open-ended access to a product that he could review for this here games website and all of that.
The only way I see a lose condition is if the initial buy-in for experiencing the game is not worth it. Since that cost has been effectively reduced to $0, he got time to access the full game at no cost. That no dollars and no cents translated into info commodity for F13.
It would be different without the whole "I own and operate a site where I review games and trade in game-related news" element. With that present, it's neither imprudent nor impulsive to buy-in for a full game experience. It's like calling a newspaper editor an idiot for buying into promising associated newsfeeds when one of those turns into a dud.
Just saying, y'know.
