Cadenza: When did they say they were purposely avoiding their customers? I know from experience that they are not. I asked this in another thread but - what would an official forum do that this forum has not already? GoG is a fantastic forum and you can pretty much find the answer or at least a thread about all current issues right here at GoG.
a month. it does not take ANYONE a month to put a forum up. and no business in the world 'accidentally' crashes their forum in the WEEK leading up to a massive product launch, and keep it down for the 3 weeks following. please stop looking at cdp through rose-tinted glasses.
a week without the forum, fair enough... accidents happen.
but a
MONTH... for a
business in the middle of a massive launch? its just gone beyond ridiculous to suggest that this is an accident or a technical issue.
i mean i get it... in the past they were amazing... it was like a dream, finally a pc developer that cared about its products and its community! and at a time they DID! they totally totally DID care about us!
but i think one thing we should ALL know is that just because they cared at one time doesnt mean they will always care... just because we rightfully loved them once, doesnt mean we should ever blindly love them forever no matter how badly they behave...
if anything, i just hope if ENOUGH of us call them out on their behavior this time, then perhaps they will be able to change back tot he developer i used to love... whats the alternative? that we watch them continue along this path and have another typical generic non-caring developer? do we really need more EAs and Activisions in the world?
lets help THEM better themselves... dont look at this as hate, look at it as trying to help them do better...
