So close to being a empathetic human while not being a corporate shill.

Eh, they get what they voted for.

Man, the CEO does not come of very well at all in my opinion. So much handing off blame to Fragile, not seemingly know what is on their agreement with the customer, especially the owning part.

Also, the part where he was pushing why they are pushing such high interest, over double after two years, especially when he's touting the subscription isn't for long term was very telling to me. I mean why not offer the user to buy when you've made the profit threshold and there was no answer outside of justifying predatory pricing with "but my survey says it's good!".

Just solidifies the fact that this is not a company I want to deal with going forward.

Cripes, just buy from any boutique builder with financing and avoid this predatory company.

It's called using the title of the article as-is.

I could have sworn this was a onion article.

I mean who doesn't trust a raging alcoholic to keep their word about not being a raging alcoholic anymore?

Republicans wanted Milei style austerity and American voters wanted Republicans.

We all get what America voted for and good luck with that economy there.

I really loved the first game and it's interesting to see it as a 3d, isometric game this time around.

I did not find it to be genuine at all but here are my highlights:

  1. There was no acknowledgement of having interest rates higher than a payday loan and justify it indirectly with the "customer survey says!"
  2. Shifting blame about swapping lower spec equipment to hardware availability is bullshit.
  3. No addressing of the various shady contract wording with the whole cancel anytime.
  4. Man that line of "maybe your want to be a streamer", that was no worse that telling kids "you can be the next fortnite champion!"
  5. Bottom line, no actual apology to gamers for ripping them off worse than the mafia and offering refunds.

To me it comes off as "I'm sorry we got exposed" rather than being actually sorry for ripping impressionable and desperate gamers off.

Alternative, just like gamers Nexus said, contact a loan shark is a better alternative.

Realistically, any other boutique seller offering financing would be infinitely better.

Completely lackluster and insufficient response in my book

This response is not nearly enough in my book.

Well, if you're thinking about donating, there's a easy to miss box to check to actually get the games and apparently of you don't check it you get nothing and have to donate again.

Absolutely ridiculous that it's opt in and not opt out for a game bundle.

I will not be using this thing again.

So he's following typical Republican family values, they fall to see the issue here.

Jebus, it's a freaking bloodbath for the gaming industry.

God the American public is so stupid.

Wasn't the biggest fan of the game but still sad to see another developer studio go down.

Great job there Americans and a special shout out to White gen-X'ers for cutting your own soon to be retirement.
