  1. XBOX is milking all the money possible out of vulnerable consumers (SWITCH TO PC WHILE YOU CAN)


    I've had a problem with my Black Ops 3 game disc which i had for 6 months or so, paid 60$ for, wasn't damaged or scratched, and was my favorite game. It was nearly impossible to get into contact with them and when i did they said
    they can't help so i should take it to game stop to switch it out for a new one... If Xbox, the platform for the game did nothing to help, why would people in real life trade me a completely broken game they didn't sell to me for a new one?? I tried anyways
    and they wouldn't take the game because they said although it isn't physically damaged, it doesn't run on the xbox or show up at all, informing me i got robbed basically. I'm trying to call them now, i"ve been on hold for 30 minutes and have already set it
    up to where they should've called me by now. It's impossible to get into contact with them, and since this isn't a general problem most people have had with the game, so they really don't care to try to give me any kind of refund or new copy when i contact
    them, when the only thing that does is lose their business slowly but surely. Why do they think I'd pay an overpriced cost just for my next game not to work either, it's not like they're gonna go broke to give a customer a working game they paid for.a I'm
    leaving xbox soon i've lost my faith in its quality after defending it from people who **** on it for so long. Xbox only cares about the $$$$$$$$$$ so watch out, if you buy a game, 6 months later it'll probably render useless with no way to reimburse you for
    what they stole. I'm going PC where the game prices are fair and you can get refunds when well known companies like this rob you then ignore you. Why don't they get it?? I don't wanna pay 90$ to get the game in a bundle pack that can't be sold separately to
    steal more money from me!! All of it just seems like schemes to milk the most money possible out of vulnerable people. They only give deals on games when the games fail to sell or they are forced to by the developers of the game. They'll try to put every
    expensive game in a bundle pack that cannot be purchased alone just for the 30 or 40 extra dollars.

    Lol, it was unintended that you could share DLC's between accounts. It's a way for Microsoft and Dev's/Publishers to gain more money by milking money out of each account you rent.

    Any rumors of a basic headset being available for the One?

    [quote user="ArmyMedic75"]

    Only if approved by MS the non inclusion of headsets is just another way for MS to milk the money out of you

    [/quote]

    Well, Microsoft does have to appeal to the consumer.. but what people are forgetting is that Microsoft is a company with shareholders. They hae to make a smuch money as possible they can't give out everything for free. they are running a business not a charity.

    How do I remove the automatically generated gamertag?

    Hello

    While you can't transfer gamertags. You can change the primary emails addresses associated with the account. Meaning you could just switch the emails around. It would be a bit time consuming but totally possible.

    How did gaming get so bad ?

    I am surprised that game prices have not risen over the years, the standard price has stayed relatively the same for a while and has not increased at an inflationary rate. The reason? Less content. As expenses increase (and they have over the last ten years)
    the cost is usually passed on to the consumer, in this industry, they offer less with the original purchase, and milk out as much as possible with expansions.

    who's looking forward to GTA 5?

    If anybody thinks GTA V is not coming to next gen or PC, just quit playing video games and learn about marketing. All they'll do is sell it on current gen consoles, milk the money, then next gen release for it, milk that money and then so forth with PC.

    I can't wait for GTA V though. I've been waiting at least a year and couple months.

    why do we have to pay for dlc that's already on the disc

    DLC. Disc Locked Content. you can thank the brainiacs at EA for that and other 'innovative' methods of milking the consumer.
