Subject: Asking and advocating for a refund is fraudulent activity

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

wow

Apparently telling people to ask for a refund for a faulty product is fraudulent activity.

Smells like something EA would do, but hell, EA let those free games on Origin slide...

Basically these guys are saying that asking for a refund and advocating people to get a refund for a faulty product is a scam.

Just send it to the junk folder. If you're feeling feisty respond and tell them that you've added them to your spam filter.

*Looks up the company that sent the email.*
*Sees they are just some gaming company for the most part that deals with money.*

Yeah their word doesn't mean anything.

So Says Shadroxon.

Capitalism at its finest. Corporations have all the rights; you have none.

Actually, after looking more closely at it, that company seems like a joke. Just trash it and move on.

They are trying to scare people who say negative things about WarZ. They are also probably going to try and remove all the negative videos.

I guarantee you that ex-forum mod was threatened with a lawsuit if he did not say he was a liar.

Yep pretty much it is just a scare tactic. Their word means nothing when it comes down to it.

That would only happen if they don't allow people to post videos of their game.

Because they want to prosecute people and protect themselves from "fraud".

But how is asking or telling people to get a refund fraud?

It isn't fraud especially when regarding false advertisement. The changing of the description on the Steam page is proof enough of that and would be an easy win for most people in court. Even then telling people to do illegal activities isn't illegal. It is unethical, but not illegal. Though that is assuming people made fraudulent claims when they didn't. In the end it is a scare tactic and the company knows that. They figure they can scare people into taking their videos down. Really they would have been better off making it so people can't upload videos of War Z.

Bobcast is paid in MILF blind dates.

I know nothing about law, but wouldn't the whole WarZ thing be worthy of a class-action lawsuit?

I think they are going to start targeting all the negative videos, I can see totalbiscut and Rhinocrunch getting emails.

Rain, and Jazz.
Halo: Tactical

I'm either a fool or an inteligent man, depending on how sleepy or angry I am.

I originaly made an account on 07.27.2007 but I wanted to link my GT and made this account. Don't forget your passwords!

This is going to be some interesting bullcrap.

I'm betting money that if this situation escalates a teensy bit more there will be BBC and/or CNN articles on it.

EDIT: If you knew for a fact that their clams are fradulent you have no money-related reason to back down. The accuser will have to pay for your expenses.

Copyright strikes are very easy to fight when partnered. Big channels can only really ever get into trouble for posting something like pr0n. Unless they specifically state there is to be no content of War Z on youtube other than their channel they can't get it taken down.
