Well played ED

[umkhunto]

Not sure if people are truly butt hurt or troll...

[Sporg]

I just want to say, I loved the Matrix G-lock effect.

Very well thought out joke.

 

I understand people that got frustrated, but come on, you fell for an April's fools prank, get over it.

You should be happy about the funny Easter Eggs we sometimes get.

Cheer up! :)

 

(PS: Since this is in Open Beta only, maybe you should also consider if Open Beta is really for you, if such a little thing can make your world tumble.)

[SFJackBauer]

Nothing like a healthy good dose of humor :megalol:

 

Well done ED!

[amazingme]

Funny indeed

 

I find the lack of humor on some people very disturbing.. and funny :))

[Sporg]

I'm done. I might consider returning if and when (not holding my breath) some devs are willing to apologize and promise that their code doesn't contain any more hidden undocumented "surprises"

 

"Oh look at me! I'm slamming the door now!"

 

Well, goodbye:

 

 

:megalol:

 

Seriously though:

I think some people should get over themselves.

And maybe not play with Beta, if they don't like new features.. ;)

[13WELT_JankeS]

Yes it was fun :) But at first I thought that my RTX card was dying because of GDDR6 failure... :P

[Knock-Knock]

Wow, such drama queens. Go grab a snickers or something.

 

Oh, and its NOT a bug, or an intentional bug. What the hell is an intentional bug? A bug is an unintentional error. This Matrix G is an intentional visual effect.

[Fri13]

20 years ago matrix came out.... Great honor from ED to one of the most iconic movies of the Hollywood era...

 

Yes at first it looks like a bug, but few seconds and you will get it...

[Dudikoff]

Agreed, but god only knows what else they might have installed.

 

 

It's the only way to be sure..

[falcon_120]

OMG I'm loving whinner guy so much. What a laughter you've gifted me sir. Thank you very much.

[Tom Kazansky]

for those who missed it

 

 

 

 

in case you don't see any green letters: YOU ARE STILL IN THE MATRIX! WAKE UP!

The angst and legal threats are still going? Kinda like the Jerry Springer Show, except in text form. A good prank, loved it.

[FoxAlfa]

DCS Nebuchadnezzar Confirmed!

[Nansaram]

Maybe you should talk to your lawyer immediately because you seem to have no idea how wrong you are :music_whistling:

 

It is just your thought of your sides.

I could not use my Modules that I had bought from you ED, because of your "intentional" wrecking of module's normal functionality.

You invaded my authority of usage licence.

I already talked to my lawyer and ready to start 1million dollars sue already.

 

And my lawyer will also contact FBI and Полиция России to investigate un-agreed illegal modification of software modules and probability of hacking.

[Knock-Knock]

LOL. Who needs Netflix and HBO, when you can have this? Fantastic.

[falcon_120]

Oh boy... this is too good to be true.

 

 

Hey Nansaram, you should take a walk to the lovely north Korea and tell Kim Jong how evil western SW developers are, if you're lucky he'll borrow you one of their missiles to throw it at ED's office XD.

Please please, let me know when the trial start, I need to book my flight in advance, I can't for the life of me miss that.

 

//imagine GIF eating popcorn thrilled//

[etherbattx]

well, that happened.

[SmirkingGerbil]

Indeed. The NaCL is real. EULA wars are the best. My EULA lawyer is better than your EULA lawyer. I kinda remember stuff like this on an 3rd grade playground - but I am giving away my age and mindset.

If google translate is to be trusted (100.000 Chinese user manuals can't be wrong... Or can they?) the phenomenon we are dealing with here is a 트롤.

[Sport]

Sorry, you are Right, I'm not in the position to decide who is wrong. But instead of bitching around and demanding an apologize you guys could take it as what it is, a joke.

 

A German telling a Russian to chill and take a joke...

 

I picked a hell of a week to stop sniffing glue

[Sport]

...Maybe I should just fly a Gulfstream around the battlezones instead. :D

 

I wouldn't mind that considering I'm type rated in two of them!

[Falkaroth]

Lol, I think its quite funny, and I think it was quite clear its the g-force "animation" so at worst, I initially though it was a missing texture or something. But that is hardly a reason to uninstall/reinstall the game! If you uninstall and reinstall for every bug (Which this was not) you would not be playing DCS a lot...

 

I thought my GPU was broken. :blink:

Is DanielNL your attorney?

I'm waiting to hear confirmation from ED as to whether this is intentional behavior. Why should I install an update that already has one un-announced "joke" in it? How do I know that they haven't put in any other "jokes" that we haven't found yet? Go look at the bug reporting sections of this forum where people have reported spending hours using diagnostic tools looking for a hardware fault and then tell me this was funny.

 

I have experience with other software developers who started with "jokes" and "pranks" that eventually escalated into redirecting their customers' connections for a DDOS "prank" on a rival. I don't like installing software that has un-announced "features". It makes it hard to trust the developers. Especially with things like, just for example, paypal information. Or automatic crash reporting. Or all of the other ways that developers say "trust us" and rely on goodwill and their reputation. And 99.9% of the time that trust is fully earned. But I've experienced the 0.1% of the time when that trust is lost.

 

At the very least, ED showed horrible judgement. But what's worse is that they put this out as an urgent hotfix and even went so far as to say that people needed to update if they wanted to access multiplayer servers. And they did that to try to encourage people to download their "joke". So what happens the next time that there really is an urgent hotfix? "Haha, fooled me once" and people won't update.

 

Seriously, the problem with April Fools Day is that some people really think they are funnier than they actually are. Abusing people's trust when you want them to give you money and install your proprietary code on their comouters is just so far beyond stupid that words fail me.

 

So yes, I really will consider uninstalling DCS, or maybe just remaining with the version I currently have for the foreseeable future. At the very least, I won't be installing any updates if they really have shown that I should not trust their code. This isn't funny. At all.

Life is beautiful, enjoy it, don't waste it on silly complains.
