Almost as if, your customers will respect you, if you respect them.
Although Reddit disappoints me so much that I sigh whenever I see it linked, I am somewhat pleased that when GOG had to link a thread, they chose to use an old.reddit page in particular.
I used to think I wouldn’t quit Reddit until they got rid of the “old” style. Then the API debacle happened two years ago, and whelp. Here I am. 🙃
At least GOG knows how to treat its userbase.
Then the API debacle happened two years ago
Good news! They made things worst a few days ago by requiring users to request permission to get a personal API key. So if you don’t already use a modified 3rd party app with your own API key, then you’re fucked!
Aww, look at Reddit and its cute little shovel, digging their hole deeper and deeper without any real clue what they’re doing. Yeah, just a few feet more and you’ll dig through the center of the Earth, sweetie! Keep going!
Say what you want they are making a shit load of money and they/their investors are very happy with the trajectory of the company and it’s stock.
I mean, duh? I left the site years ago when it became clear they value making money over making a site I’d want to actually use.
They’re digging a hole in their userbase, even if they’re making money in the meantime. Just as the kid who tries to dig through the Earth can potentially “succeed” for a while, ending up in a hole several times deeper than they are tall, there will come a time when they look back up and realize they can’t get back out of it.
In other words, if Reddit keeps digging, there will come a point where things become untenable. (Although I’m sure those in charge will have their golden parachutes ready to go) the site itself will become so enshittified as to be unrecoverable. There’s no long-term plan to get Reddit out of that situation.
lmfaoooooo
I was actually considering making a real new account (since anything with a temporary email generator address used seems to be instantly shadowbanned), this is a good reminder to not bother with that shitty site
That wording seems very iffy, what’s the difference between using and “abusing” their refunds? How could a player you trust “abuse” said policy and how would you track it considering you are the one issuing the refund in the first place? Just sounds like a weirdly resentful way to say it, almost like they don’t want to issue the refunds but are doing it purely for PR.
presumably they have an average number of refunds for users across whatever game…outliers tend to be very obvious with this sort of thing.
that goes for everything, go to any clothing store, restaurant, any business at all really, and I guarantee you 75% of their customer bullshit some karen wasting time wanting a couple $'s back or whatever…it’s always the same people
for most businesses, they’re such a small overall portion of their customerbase it’s not even worth it to tell em to fuck off. they think they’re “beating the system/holding people accountable” or some shit like that but they’re barely even a rounding error on a balance sheet somewhere
So basically, my last sentence.
The thing is, it would have been so easy to just say what they consider the “abusing” conditions than just leaving it at that. You are going a lot of their whitewashing for them. Sure it could be that, it might probably be that, but is it?

Damned, hadn’t considered that.
