One of the those two. http://www.which.co.uk/consumer-rights/problem/how-do-i-use-chargeback e: don't chargeback until the paypal route is exhausted. Paypal will close any dispute that is involved with a to chargeback. You can paypal dispute, chargeback and if all else fails small claims for three tries at a refund.

Tijuana Bibliophile posted:I'm interested in their operating expenses That would be interesting too. I was thinking more as yet another counter to the whole “yeah, well SC isn't as bad as that game” argument. They're awfully proud of the >$100M they've (probably not actually) poured into the game so far, as if that was a mark of quality, similar to how delays are being recast as something that's a good thing: 2020 isn't 6 years overdue, but a reasonable release date. Collecting that and the critical reception would most likely demonstrate that long development times and high costs aren't actually linked to good products — in many cases, the opposite conclusion would probably show up.

Tijuana Bibliophile posted:I'm interested in their operating expenses Granted they get a bulk discount and I'm more familiar with Azure pricing but the two are so competitive I assume they are basically the same. Last I read, they run around 3 instances on a server. So you have around 200 servers to support 10,000 spergs. Looking on the chart a decent server to support this would be around $2/hr when in use. Key word is in <<use>>. So at full tilt, if they averaged 200 servers 24/7 it would be around 300K a month.

fuzzknot posted:There's a rumor that Ted Cruz cooked bacon with a machine gun, which I doubt is true. It's not like I think he's not that insane, it's just that you'd wind up with bacon bits and massive amounts of carnage. Did both (not with actual roadkill, only store bought saussages and corn ear) with a C9 LMG and the trick is aluminum foil. 1 - Take one foil sheet (ideally as wide as your barrel), place your bacon strips (or other thin meats) on it, put another foil sheet over and seal it. 2- Wrap the result tightly around your barrel 3- Take your time slowly shooting about 300 rounds over 10 minutes. You want to cook, not to damage your barrel 4- Unwrap the foil, enjoy your TacBac. Try not to getting caught by your NCO. Its the same idea for cooking on your car motor. Wrap whatever you wish to cook in foil, fit it snugly on your engine block, drive a certain numbers of miles and then enjoy a warm meal. Corn on the comb is the easiest meal you can do this way. Just wrap them in foil with some butter and salt, stick them on the engine and drive about 40 miles.

Private servers eat into the cash shop revenues. Well yes, that makes perfect sense. In general though, a company is at least nice enough not to sell you the Modders electronic manual for private servers for $10 before cancelling the private servers. But this is CIG, so money!

AWS is doing some aggressive bulk pricing at the moment, but it depends on their size as to whether they get the best rates. They'll be on the dedicated hardware rather than spot instancing, but the compute isn't really the interesting bit, but more what they're doing with the persistance store/database. That usually becomes the first bottleneck.

Same controller experience for me. I hopped in free fly to witness trainwreck history, lolled at the keyboard mapping screen and grabbed an xbox controller. Pretty sure they literally did not map a controller button to go forward in a spaceplane. Spent some time hitting every button and combinations, mashing, studying the controller mapping screen, made random beep boop noises happen but could not fly in any direction. Parp Scamizen.

So CIG is now actively lying about what chargebacks are used for, and threatening customers that try to seek relief. That strikes me as crossing a line, but what do I know?

They'll be on the dedicated hardware rather than spot instancing, but the compute isn't really the interesting bit, but more what they're doing with the persistance store/database. That usually becomes the first bottleneck. From my understanding they are "spinning" up and down instances based on demand. In my mind that means they are using the flexibility of the "cloud" computing to save costs. They noted that, and fits in that when a VM is cranking is only when they get charged. Guess what I'm saying is I don't see how they have have dedicated AWS hardware in the equation. As for the DB side of things, I said this a billion posts back...I'd hate to be that guy. Granted, it would be a cool job if you worked at a company that actually used its resources to support you instead of fancy furniture. So he's probably tasked with the impossible job of reconciling transactions, row locking, collisions, etc. from all parts of the globe. Not glamorous stuff, but this is the drat thing that everything is built upon for a PU.

DigitalMocking posted:I wonder how long before CIG turns this into a full blown MLM scheme. It already is a confidence scam. There are huge parallels between how CIG has been conducting their business and community interaction and other scams like money market scams, get rich quick schemes, etc... They're selling a fantasy. There really is no difference between a person who blows $5,000 on Iraqi currency based on the lofty promises of a scammer and someone who blows $5,000 on SC based on the lofty promises of Crobberts. Hell at least if I bought 5,000 bucks worth of Vietnamese Dong I would actually have something real. This is more like sending all your money to a Nigerian scammer.
