Sega are suing the makers of Professor Layton over Inazuma Eleven because they hold a patent on moving a character with a stylus.
Patent reform, anybody? |
I mean, I know this is in Japan rather than the US for a change, but this shit needs to end.

Nintendo should have a chat with them over the kart racing thing. And the jump button thing.

According to recent job postings, SuperBot Entertainment could be planning a sequel to Playstation Battle Royale with development to either occur soon or already be in a very early stage of development.
Besides the usual need for programmers and designers, the job postings emphasis the experience needed is for games similar to Playstation Battle Royale. Quote:

My credit card has expired so Xbox can't take money out of my bank account to renew the gold membership, can they?
Sick of trying to turn off autorenew. Steaming pile of crap that it is. |

Recurring card payments aren't always stopped by things like expiry dates. Generally auto-links in with new cards on the same account.

Xbox just renewed my membership. My last membership was for 3 months so I thought they'd charge me for that. I had £20 so it was no big deal.
Just found out they charged me for 12 months so I'm now in debt by £19.99. Great! Seriously want to punch whoevers in charge of the whole membership stuff. |
He's probably getting promotions for making it so hard to cancel while still being within the law.

Don't suppose they'll give me my money back and cancel my gold, when I give them a phone when they open at 10, will they? :(
|
I got them to reduce it to 3 months, and refund some of my money.
|
What did you say to get them to do that?
|
I have to wait a month to turn off auto-renew because somehow my Xbox account no longer recognizes the laptop I'm using, WTF. Basically I can only turn it off on the day before it auto-charges my card. Just another cheat way to try and get your money basically.
|
Isn't there some kind of consumer right that says we should be able to do this stuff as simpley as possible? What if someone that couldn't use a phone for some reason wanted to turn off auto-renewal?
I just tried phoneing. I went through the menus and waited to talk to someone but got disconnected instead. |
27 mins listening to the please hold music and counting.
|
I was on hold for a total of 40 minutes and I spoke to someone for 5 minutes.
He told me how to stop that "loop" situation I had. I need to do something that involves multiple broswers or the privacy setting on the browser or a second device. So unnecessarily convoluted, I'm surprised they didn't ask me to hop on one foot or hold my breath while I did it or something. Got auto-renew turned off and he switched me to a month fee. That way I get to game online over Christmas and then my gold account is silver afterwards. |
They're all shit. Nintendo still haven't got back to me after 3 weeks trying to get my Virtual Console games back.

UK consumer rights aren't too bad, actually. We get a lot of useful ones. You are entitled to a refund whenever you want it, as long as you still have the thing you bought. You just have to give a reason the item wasn't satisfactory and it doesn't even have to be a big thing. "This burger isn't hot enough" or "This glass is too narrow" would probably work in a resaurant.
I assumed there would a right saying things like managing subscriptions and payments should be as accessible as possible. The fact I needed to phone someone wouldn't have been much help for me if I was deaf or mute, for example. Not very accessible. |
We can't return a videogame or movie once the plastic wrap is removed.
Can't really blame them, as you'd have way more people abusing it, than legit returns. |
That's the same here overall but I was able to return Skyrim for a full refund after removing the wrapping by saying the game required an HD tv for it to be playable but it was never mentioned on the box.

It was cancelled years ago. Was meant to be out either in 2010 or 2011 and it got chopped when the developers couldn't meet the deadline.
|
Still dunno why they didn't hand it off to someone else. It was the best selling star wars game of it's time. It's still the best selling game behind Force Unleashed. And that was before online console play hit it's stride.
Battlefront 3 is a license to print money. I don't get it. |
LucasArts had really horrible management at the time to the point they had to restructure the company not because of money reasons but to fix how bad management became.

Do you guys not have anything like Relay, though? In the states, there's a national service that allows you to use a third party to communicate via TTY or computer. While not ideal, it would certainly allow a customer to deal with being Deaf. ...What can I say? My ex has a Deaf brother and my current girlfriend is hard of hearing in one ear. I'm pretty familiar with this stuff. Quote:

Oh god I loathed those sorts of calls. Didn't help that the service (Typetalk as it was then) seemed to be staffed by the most unprofessional people ever. Had one agent end their shift midway through the call so decided to fob the call off on someone else. Great service, that.
They get really shitty about you trying to speak to them directly rather than the caller too. |
