hansangb Posted January 4, 2019 Share Posted January 4, 2019 (edited) Trouble is they advertised to have all the features seen in the video so if they did that they could find themselves in trouble. Personally I'm getting sick of have finished products and I'm not just talking about DCS. What ever happened to FINISHING a product before selling it? JUST DON'T BUY IT! It's that simple. You can unsubscribe. You can *not* click on this forum. *You* can put all Heablur usernames in the ignore list. This way, you can wait for a finished product and be happy. And others can enjoy a beta/unfinished product. WHO LOSES? And who exactly is getting in trouble and how? Are you really going to take ED to World Court for a marketing video? It's just a freaking game for goodness sake. Whatever happened to just enjoying a game. It must be so damn demoralizing for HB folks. Come here to hear people whining and moaning about EVERY damn aspect of the game, release, too early, too late, not ready, want beta, give it to Reapers, don't give it to Reapers on and on and on. IT'S JUST A GAME. It's supposed to be entertainment. IT'S NOT REAL. Get over yourselves and enjoy the hard work put into the product by HB folks. When it's released, I'm sure a ton of us will have fun playing with it. So HB folks, release it when it's ready. We're all waiting with bated breath to fly an iconic airframe in DCS. Some of us are pulling hard for you and will be ready to enjoy your creation.

"It's just a freaking game for goodness sake" right,, a game.. even freeware products have to abide by laws. And dcs modules are not free.. it's not because you decided to buy you have to accept whatever they give you.. You must be one of those guys who never complains about anything you buy apparently. Germany already banned pre-purchases with vague release dates, hope this becomes a trend. Get ur logic straight this is not a friends and family only business...

Nope.. before announcement they posted on facebook "F14 in 2018" and later they deleted after the announcement.. So when they started the pre-order and said Winter, what would you think?? I'm not obligated to go through their facebook, check for deleted posts and realized everything by myself? That's the main reason people were expecting it on December? The pre-order was 2 months before winter... So it was reasonable to think that they were using those last 2 months to prepare to launch.. They were vague and misleading... My point about the lemonade stand is exactly that, not that they claimed to be, but how fanboys want other players to behave. about the timeframe... Imagine if everything you buy from now on, instead of a date, they give you season timeframes? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OnlyforDCS Posted January 4, 2019 Share Posted January 4, 2019 (edited) about the timeframe... Imagine if everything you buy from now on, instead of a date, they give you season timeframes? Loads of developers do exactly that. Personally I don't agree with it but it's not like I can do anything other than NOT TO PREORDER the module or game, which is exactly what everyone here keeps repeating and which you intentionally or unintentionally gloss over. Also Winter 2018 was kind of vague until the last update when Cobra stated a GUARANTEED release date before the calendar end of Winter 2018. (20th of March) The module "might" come before then, but if you don't believe that then the 20th of March 2019 is the guaranteed release date.

When pre-ordering hit, it said "this winter" (December 21st, 2018 - March 20th, 2018 ).

You are the one struggling to understand that you are biased and no matter what they do you will defend them. I doubt that you would accept a car lease that was advertised for 2018, but when u signed the contract it says anytime between 2018 and 2019. Even if you argue that it was your fault not to read the contract, the car dealer was dishonest. And that's the whole point.. got it fanboy?

No actually it's YOUR fault for (pre)ordering without a set release date. A vague date, or NO date is exactly that. NO DATE. So if you choose to preorder then set your expectations accordingly! Also, FYI Im not a fanboy either, I dissaprove of the practice of allowing preorders without set release dates, for exactly this reason! Im just smart enough to vote with my wallet.

shagrat Posted January 4, 2019 Share Posted January 4, 2019 (edited) it's not because you decided to buy you have to accept whatever they give you.. You must be one of those guys who never complains about anything you buy apparently. The process of "buying something" explained for beginners: You want to have/get something and offer to pay for it. The price tag is the indication of the vendor to help you understand what he thinks his product is worth. Still you, the customer offers(!!!) to pay an amount of XX cash for it. By doing so you accept to buy the product as seen or advertised, because YOU want to buy it and nobody holds a gun to your head and says "I shoot you, if you don't buy this". If the product differs from what was advertised, or it has faults not obvious when you bought it, you have the right to get a replacement working as advertised or if that's not possible your money back, or if you accept it, a similar or better product. That is pretty much what your rights are. Of course a lot of shops under the pressure of competition do offer guarantees, refunds etc. on their own(!) to lure more customers in. Still, this is voluntarily and not a requirement! If you don't want a pre-purchase with a timeframe announced, don't go and buy it. I guess when you order a pizza and they tell you it may take "between 30-60 minutes, because they're busy" you would rain hell on them, because they can't give you the exact delivery minute? Germany already banned pre-purchases with vague release dates, hope this becomes a trend. Get ur logic straight this is not a friends and family only business... No, they require to give an exact date, when you can expect the product to be delivered. So you get a date like 5th Jan 3099 (that you accept, by buying) and fortunately, as a "benefit" for the customer, they manage to get the product released earlier in 2019... so I am absolutely fine with Winter 2018/19, but that's just me.

You would have to make a mature decision(!) if you want to accept the timeframe or WAIT until the finished product is available! Horrible! We would need to check the shop from time to time if "apples" are finally for sale again, or they still only have "oranges"! I can't imagine how I would manage it when they told me "apples" will be available in summer, again.
