It's been posted all before.
Egosoft know that alot of people aren't happy with the game. There's no point filling the boards with 'my game doesn't work/is bugged/I hate you egosoft you sold us out'
Because this is all old news to egosoft and the criticism has been expressed before.
A process which has already been set in motion thus making the posters comments on the game pointless.You need to realise that customer complaints and constructive criticism are very much a part of that process
If he had something else to say beyond what alot of people already did when they got the game then it would help. But he's just regurgitating the same rants as the other people before him
Egosoft don't need reminding that alot of people still find it hard to play the game, or just have it lying on a shelf.
He contributed nothing to Egosoft at all.
The fact that the manual couldn't be shipped is old news.
Egosoft aren't holding it back as a marketing ploy or to annoy people. If they haven't released the manual to download yet then it means they're bogged down with something of a higher priority.
I mentioned very early in my post that I don't have a copy of X3 and won't be buying one till January. (As I'll be getting a new computer set up)If you have a working copy that runs fine yay for you.Why are these boards then so full of unhappy customers who cop endless grief from the minority that don't have issues.
The reason they get endless grief is because they're not helping. You can talk about how much criticism helps companies and I'll agree.
But Egosoft have already recieved 90% of the criticism that people post on here. That's why they've been releasing new patches to satisfy the players since X3 launched. Posting a complaint once it's already been taken on board and will be in the pipeline to resolve doesn't accomplish anything but fill up the board with useless posts.
Why do you think you've been ripped off?You have a working copy so you hav'nt been ripped off.Hurah for you all.Many don't and it is our right as paying customers to complain.
The poster got his game for $40, that's approximately £22 where I live. Most new games go at about £35-£40 which is $60+
The fact that he got it for $40 means either one of two things.
1. He just got a cheap deal. If he bought it in the UK when it first came out he'd be looking at paying more. I'd hardly consider it a ripoff to get a game for less than normal price when new and have to wait for some patches. It's not ideal, but the game is getting more functional with each patch so he hasn't just bought a deadweight. He merely needs to exercise more patience, take it on the chin and be more wary with Egosoft in the future.
2. He waited to buy it. In which case this information about the bugs and patch issues would have been availible on this forum and in reviews, both in print and the internet. So if he didn't research the item then that dilutes his being 'ripped-off'
That doesn't mean you're obligated to. Or that doing so will actually acheive something and contribute.It's our right as an un-happy customer to complain
Like I said before, I agree that complaints and criticism help Egosoft craft the products into better ones. But what he said and what most complainers have said about the game have already been covered and taken into account.
If you post in all the threads saying how much you think the game was a rip off because it didn't come with a manual and Egosoft already know alot of people feel this way. Then you've just spammed the forum.
) ... it took them a while, but eventually they finished the game up quite well. While I wish I could get my money back for this title, I can't so I'm hoping for the same treatment that X2 received.
