I wouldn't trust one tweet on this. Sandi / other senior leaders must approve refunds, and they're getting their Citizen Con on -- so this may be temporary (or false).

Interesting, what's lacking with Wasteland 2 if you want to elaborate? I basically waited it out - might delve into it with the uncut version or whatever it is called.

There's nothing missing but it is pretty literally Wasteland 2; i.e. it is Wasteland with a new story and better graphics. What this means is that the game has all the same anachronistic design choices that the original game did, back from before what constituted "good" RPG mechanics had been refined.

The upshot being that the game can feel clunky, confusing with lots of redundant parts which makes it feel unbalanced and unpolished. The go to example of this is "lockpicking"; where modern games will have, usually, a single lockpicking skill that you can dump skill points into Wasteland 2 has, from memory, five.

Ultimately if what you really want is another Wasteland game then you will get another Wasteland game warts and all, if what you really wanted was another Fallout 1/2 or Baldur's Gate in a post-apocalyptic wasteland then you will be if not dissapointed then underwhelmed.

Don't be silly. You don't make money joining a ponzi scheme, you make it by creating one... I know! I'll say that people will get money in some nebulous way, other than from me, if they give me money. Or that if they're sick they'll get better over time, if they send me money.

I've seen that one work before.

I was just issued my refund this morning actually.

Edit: Maybe not. They requested a shitton of information and confirmations from me that I understand their refund process and asked where to send it, etc...but in a quick re-read the language is still vaguely non-committal about the actual granting of the refund.

Thank you Skoll for revealing the secrets of the refund to jabber and motivating me to pull my cash out.

Were those not fine days, when we drank of clear honey, and spoke in calm tones of our love for the stuff?
At my office we used to have these huge starbucks coffee machines, that they filled with unground beans every day, and when you wanted it a cup it would grind them and brew it and it took forever and was so good. then like 5 years ago they replaced them with Keurigs and I'm still not over it.

edit: then they replaced the keurigs with tassamos or some poo poo. which were so much worse they brought back the keurigs
