Except, y'know, the $70 spent on the game. I guess that's nothing?
No, I'm not saying that's nothing. That's a lot of money for some people. Of course, we should have expectations for that.
We are disappointed. Some are mad. Some are really mad. I'm in that group.
I guess my mistake was trying to calm people down because the game being offline for a day or two days, or whatever it ends up being, is a minor thing. Most people have other games they can play during that time. It's disappointing but it's not like they're doing it on purpose to punish us. They instituted an update and something clearly went wrong. Remember, even before the update they had problems with saves on their server so there was already something going wrong.
I'm getting exhausted trying to explain that microtransactions are not illegal. I hate them and I wish they did not exist but they do and people pay extra money to get the things they want a little faster. That's why they exist.
Even some who are on these forms with us and are complaining how bad that is, are likely going to spend money. I'm just trying to say, be patient and don't spend that money because you can use it for something else and I don't want to reward PD for putting us in this situation.
My son-in-law works a lot of hours, like many of the people here, and I hate that he doesn't have enough time on his machine to grind for the credits to get some of the cars he really loves. It means way more to him than to me.
I just love racing games for the racing. It's an escape from the stress of life. I'm not necessarily a car collector like some here are.
I've stated numerous times and I fully understand why people feel disappointed. But, the best way to get revenge (if people want to use that word) is to not spend a single dollar in the PlayStation store buying credits.
We shouldn't be arguing with each other over this situation. We should be figuring out how to prevent it from happening again. We can't do that by saying we'll never buy another PD game. It might be three or four years before they even make another game.
Don't buy credits is the only option we have to express discontent.
servers still down
