Subject: WarZ game devs punishing steam players for complaining!!!

In a time long past, the armies of the dark came again to the lands of men. Their leaders became known as the fallen lords, and their terrible sorcery was without equal in the west.
In 30 years they reduced the civilized nations into carrion and ash. Until the free city of Madrigal alone defined them. An army gathered there, and a desperate battle was joined against the fallen
Heros were born in the fire and bloodshed of the wars which followed and their names and deeds will never be forgotten

Just in from Reddit and the Steam WarZ forums:

"... They actually increased the respawn-timer from 1 hour to 4 hours. BUT they added a revive button, where you can spend 50GC (real money) to revive them instantly." Additionally, they are now forcing you to sign the TOS to play the game, which includes disallowing refunds. This is against the law.

- respawn time went from 1 hour to 4 hours
- you can pay real money to respawn instantly for that player
- You have to sign a TOS that forbids you from asking for a refund

Refusing to give refunds isn't against the law.

But yeah, that sucks.

What was Valve thinking letting these con artists host their game.

If they make you agree to terms of service that include a zero refund policy, it isn't deceptive, and is perfectly legal. Tons of stores don't allow refunds, because it is a courtesy (and often a very costly courtesy).

If they sell you a product and you were lied to about said details of the product, they can't make you sign away your rights. A terms of service can say they get my first born child but is that enforceable?

No, but refunds aren't a right. They might have lied their asses off about the game but if they (now famously) make you agree to the stipulation that there is no refund, you're SOL.

To be fair, 2100 GC is only like, 9 bucks. So that element of it doesn't seem to harsh. What if Halo was only $20 and every time you re spawned in multiplayer you had to pay $0.05?

It is not even that, they only did this to get back at people who were complaining.

I mean really, instead of waiting 1 hour to play after you die it is now 4? wut

Also they NEVER updated anything in the game that was promised to the buyers.

Also, many people have been banned on the steam forums for complaining.

Here is a ban message:

Apparently a lot of people are getting this for complaining

If you die 10 times per game, that's 80 games and you're at the $60 mark

The point is the entire idea is stupid and only further shows WarZ is a scam and a cash grab.

Sounds like they would get an extra $460 out of me.

Funny, that's about as much use as I got out of Halo Reach, and more than what I've used so far with Halo 4.

Then everyone would boycott it like they are with War Z?
