Doubt much will come if it but glad this is gaining traction.
Cant find that 0.9 on metacritic, only a 79 from reviewers.
Right now you can bet EA's PR team will be trying to convince metacritic to remove most of the negative reviews. That's how they think, not about the customers or the product, but their own image and profits above all.
haha
*what a badly made website metacritic has become.
But I do find the user scores are a pretty good indicator once you have a good sized sample. Bad, or scummy games (like this one) have a low scrore, good ones (e.g. Witcher 3) have a high score.
Twitter post by GOG:
Lol at reporting to gambling commission.
Hmm is a kinder surprise egg gambling?
Are football stickers gambling?
There are loads of things in life you can buy where you don’t know exactly what you will get.
If I bought this from Greenman gaming, played it for 6 hours could I get a refund through origin?
Or a refund at all?
Consumer Rights Act 2015 said:Just like goods, digital content must be:
If digital content does not conform to these criteria, you have the right to a repair or replacement of the digital content you've bought.
- of satisfactory quality
- fit for a particular purpose
- as described by the seller.
But if a repair or replacement isn't possible, or doesn’t fix the situation, you can ask for a price reduction. This can be up to 100% of the cost of the digital content.
Where's the cheapest place for this?
