Re: Gimme a break.
Posted By: Stephen L. (SoundEffect) <soundeffect@hotmail.com>Date: 12/12/12 7:03 a.m.

In Response To: Gimme a break. (GrimBrother One)


: 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."

Thanks for a clear head, Grim.
