Gimme a break. | |
Posted By: GrimBrother One <easterling.jeff@gmail.com> | Date: 12/11/12 11:40 p.m. |
In Response To: Crimson Map Pack according to Microsoft PR... (MoltenSlowa) Just going to repost a couple of things I said on GAF. If people want to get mad at me, so be it, but I still feel the same way. (And don't I get to rant once in a while too?) "Good Lord, people will bitch about anything. HEAVEN FORBID they show good customer service and allow more people to experience the product. The second anyone thinks they are somehow getting "cheated" out of something (whether it's true or not), or that someone else is somehow getting in some convoluted way a "better deal", it's FREAK OUT ENTITLEMENT TIME. Get the hell over yourselves. (If you aren't acting like this, then it's not addressed at you)" "So we might as well get pissed off at anyone who wins the game in a contest or something, right? I mean, they got something for free that (gasp!) I PAID FOR! Guess what? I still got what I paid for. I'm still HAPPY with what I paid for. I couldn't give a flying shit about someone else getting it for cheaper or for free, because it actually doesn't really affect me. If you never knew that others got the map pack for free, would it bother you? No? Then it really didn't affect you. (Yes, I'm sure all the argumentalists in the room will figure out scenarios where that argument breaks down eventually; it works for this) The key is what is your priority? This is gonna sound super-soapboxy, but the issue really just stems from everyone focusing on themselves; what they can get; making sure no one else can possibly get something better. I think that's where my problem lies. It in a community that rather than say, wow, that's cool, more people will get these maps and more people might be playing them, they say "OH NO! BULLSHIT! They get it for less than me!" I paid for the map pass too. And guess what, it's still cheaper than buying all three packs. That's the point. Let's make sure there are just no sales on anything ever again. That way, everyone will be the same, pay the same, get the same. That must be utopia right? I paid for something. I got my value out of it. I love the community. I'm happy that some people get a good deal too by getting one of these packs for free. It's not brown-nosing. It's not kiss-ass. It's also not being a self-centered me-me-me whiny jerk." "But that's NO DIFFERENT from missing out on some sort of sale (even an "unannounced" one). Item is $10. I get it on sale for $8. I save $2. Item goes on sale the next day for $5. I STILL SAVED $2."
