159th_Viper Posted May 19, 2012 Posted May 19, 2012 The paying customer has essentially been shafted by DRM once again. There's a reason that stuff is called Starfarce. This will be the first and last contribution to the discussion insofar as DRM pro's and cons are concerned. Keep it civil and on-topic to ensure continued discussions.

Panzertard Posted May 19, 2012 Posted May 19, 2012 It's a beta - think of it as a Prepurchase. Compare it to the P51D prepurchase. With prepurchase you get access early - think of the full license in that manner as well. The rest will just have to wait a bit longer, and you'll get access too. No need to get upset - you'll get access when it's released. ;) The mind is like a parachute. It only works when it's open | The important thing is not to stop questioning
Hellfire257 Posted May 19, 2012 Posted May 19, 2012 (edited) Shafted? Come now, not having access to BETA software hardly qualifies in that regard. Those who have paid more are missing out on content, but that isn't my main issue. Both versions should be tested. Complacency causes bugs. When I shift something to beta or RC, I test all versions of it even if the difference is only a single line of code. You're eliminating what is most likely your most experienced user base by only supporting full versions for a test. That point has been beaten dead by previous posters so I will not elaborate more.

159th_Viper Posted May 19, 2012 Posted May 19, 2012 Where exactly should there be a financial loss? Where exactly should there not be a financial loss? Keys do not grow on Trees ;) As I stated previously, it does you or me no good speculating on contractual obligations between third-parties. And no, you have no demand or even a reasonable expectation of being given said information no matter how desperate you are for it, so it does no good to go fishing for it. That said, we are delving far off-topic now. Let's return, shall we. Novice or Veteran looking for an alternative MP career? Click me to commence your Journey of Pillage and Plunder!

Hellfire257 Posted May 19, 2012 Posted May 19, 2012 To be honest, I didn't expect this to go 100% smoothly - it is rare anything does. However since DCS world is a pretty huge step forward for the series I'm willing to overlook this weird decision for the time being. DCS World represents the biggest and best change since LOMAC if you ask me.

Panzertard Posted May 19, 2012 Posted May 19, 2012 (edited) EDIT: A bit of clarification; Some post have been deleted, in attempt to keep the derail from happening. Didn't work, even after several public warnings. The who said what, when, why is gone - your initial views remain; that some of you are not happy about the situation. Thread closed, it'll give us all a break for now - and everyone else time to cool off a bit. Edited May 19, 2012 by Panzertard The mind is like a parachute.
