As this thread has served, and now outlived, its purpose, I have redacted it before casting it into oblivion where it shall forever gather virtual dust in the archives.
I vehemently deny anything purportedly quoted from me. It is all pure hearsay and thus legally inadmissible. |
Hehe, good skills there matey. They really won't accept opened stuff back? That's pretty poor retailing there. By the way, what the hell is StarForce?

That sounds pretty pants alright/all right. Hey, I've got Still Life and I remember seeing it pop up when I run it. I've got a problem with that game, the sound occasionally cuts off after a few minutes and I have to restart the game again to get it back. I don't have that with any other games, do you think this StarForce bollocks might be causing it?

Getting your money back via devious means might have been an ethical re-balancing of the scales but by its self, the only message your act of
No one associated with Starforce or Amazon will ever know (or at the very least, care) why you returned the product. |
On the other hand, some poor sod will now be sold a copy of Dreamfall that isn't actually new and sealed :shifty:.
|
Oh it will be sealed allright, just badly :D
|
Well, it is technically sealed, and hasn't been played so it's as good as new. Unless the super glue trickled into the box and knackered the disc or something. I'm sure Jatsie was extra careful though :)
I still wanna get revenge on Orange for deciding to suddenly stop my free texts without telling me, it cost me 50 quid in the end cos by the time I'd realised and finally managed to get my tariff changed, it was four months later. I hope whichever cockface came up with that idea gets hit by a truck. Anyway, sorry, any excuse for a rant. |

Not getting into the moral question on this one. I think their policy is pretty dodgy (especially since Starforce should prevent you copying the CD, which negates the only real justification for the policy) After all, there are plenty of things that could be wrong you couldn't find out without opening the wrapping (also skipping the whole "Is Starforce Wrong?" argument. I don't know enough and I generally only play old games so it doesn't affect me anyway)
Just thought I'd point out that technically what you did was fraud and you've just admitted it in a public forum. I haven't got a personal problem, especially since the game should be perfectly resellable but Amazon could try hunting you down through here if they felt vindictive (which big companies sometimes do.) Don't worry, I'm sure we'll all come up with plenty of ingenious ways to break you out of prison. After all, we AGers have been practicing that sort of stuff for years. :D |
:P Yeah. No-brainer for us picking a sliding puzzle locked prison door to bust yer fraudulent ass out.

Luckily, like another smooth criminal, I have Thomas Mesereau on a retainer. ;)
|
I thought we came to the conclusion in another thread that Starforce, was in fact, not so bad?

But Fov said it wasn't!

I've never had a problem with it.
|
Neither have I. And, personally, I'm tempted to suggest that you deserved to be stuck with a StarForce-carrying copy of Dreamfall, given that there have been several threads on these boards that have mentioned it...
Anyway, I'll stop being annoyed now. |
Well I chose not to read any threads regarding Dreamfall so as not to spoil my experience. The one reference to StarForce and Dreamfall that I saw, said that it would not be on it.
|
I'm not really sure how much research you did regarding the copy protection on Dreamfall. Relying on one reference that said it wouldn't be on there wouldn't have been good enough in my book if Starforce were such a huge deal to me (which is wasn't honestly). Also, given that different publishers in different countries do different things...
You can rant about Amazon all you want but in the end it seems Caveat emptor comes to mind. :) |
