that's not how that law works lol, there's a whole section of it that says video games have extra leniency because they can be patched and fixed on day one.

They get a single attempt to offer a fix or have to offer a full refund. You are deluded if you think that chris roberts is capable of fixing the game in one patch.

I love how this "movement" continues on throughout the internet and I still don't know what the gently caress their official goals are, not a thing they say makes one lick of sense

One of the GameGate people became a gaming "journalist", they had been a writer before hand. They wrote an article about how Star Citizen is exploding behind the scenes and the game will probably never be finished. She interviewed 9 employees, who obviously asked to remain anonymous. Chris is angry and using the fact they are a GG supporter as a defense even though it has to nothing to do with what is going on, the EiC of Kotaku is rushing to defense and bringing up the same thing for God knows what reason outside of either jealously of writing the closest thing to journalism these people can get to or because he's a supporter of Chris.

GamerGate is a boogey man to keep idiots from realizing they've been fleeced for almost a 100 million dollars.

This isn't how this works.


You can't pass a law and make something retroactively illegal.

Your rights as a consumer depend on what the law was when you bought the item. Plus even if you did buy under the new law you'd have a very hard time forcing them to give you a refund because it's all about customer knowledge and expectations.

If I sell you a car and I say "it's got this dent" and you buy it, you can't take it back because of the dent. If I say "it's got this dent" and then it turns out it has no engine you can get a refund because of the lack of engine.

So if I "sell" you a ship for a game on the basis that it may never be made, and it's basically a risk on your behalf, then you can't get a refund because the game doesn't come out.

The new law just basically says this is about what a "reasonable" person would expect. If you ask a "reasonable" person what they expect from star citizen they will say "lol that's never coming out"

It's almost like you know nothing about consumer law but felt the need to just blurt out what you thought anyway as if it was a fact.

apparently the lady who wrote that article is a pro-GG person and now people are trying to figure out whether to defend GG or their $10,000 "investment" in Star Citizen because the GG/SC overlap is p much what you think it'd be
