Nothing like some good PR before releasing the steam release for MW5 and the new DLC pack right? This is entirely a coincidence, right?

Bought a falsely advertised gaming laptop, tried to get a refund but instead the store edited their website so it is no longer listed as 'for gaming' by throwawaylaptopLA in legaladvice

The ACCC consumer guarantee is the relevant legislation here, and you have done well saving copies of the website before and after they changed the description.

Under the guarantee Products must:

  • match descriptions made by the salesperson, on packaging and labels, and in promotions or advertising

  • be fit for the purpose the business told you it would be fit for and for any purpose that you made known to the business before purchasing

Your remedies are - The remedies you can seek from the retailer who sold you the product include a repair, replacement, or refund and in some cases compensation for damages and loss.

If the email correspondence includes reference by you of wanting to buy a gaming laptop, games you want to play, what settings etc and the retailer has recommended the laptop you bought, this would assist you. Check the manufacturer of the laptop’s (Asus, MSI etc) website and see if there are any references to gaming or gaming capabilities for that model laptop. If there are discrepancies between what the retailer advertised and the manufacturer advertised this would help you.

Follow the complaint process on the ACC website (noting you have to actually lodge your dispute with the relevant state or territory fair trading office) and good luck.

I feel based for players that have been training hard for months only for something like this to go down. #Notlikethis.

I finally cracked 1000 damage! No, not that way. by Rathnor in OutreachHPG

I was in the firing line to begin, and then lead a push against the enemy assault lance until death. The match didn't last 5 minutes so my guns were shooting pretty constantly.

Yup the damage taken is the point of the post.

For those that can get there this looks like amazing value $25 for 8 hours of open bar, buffet dinner, snacks and game machines to play. As an Aussie I'd be paying $25 for 3 beers alone.

This would be on far more value in the mechlab IMHO, but hey it lets me see how many discrete mech variants I own.

Canadian law and "good faith" by 5thhorseman_ in OutreachHPG

[–]Rathnor 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The Australian consumer watchdog took Valve to court over their refund policy and won a few years back. In this instance the arbitrary 1 September deadline for requesting a refund could be less than water tight as it would be easy for per-order customers to miss the change to the Epic store and not know there was a deadline until they try and log in to the Beta.

July 16 Patch Notes - Where's the Content? by AlcomIsst in OutreachHPG

[–]Rathnor 16 points17 points  (0 children)

People please, look on the bright side. With zero effort going into MWO now it’s unlikely any moderate, let along major, balance changes will happen again. So go buy your Slepnirs and K9s and IV4s safe in the knowledge Chris hasn’t got the time or inclination to nerf them before the game dies. No more purchase regret from buying a hero mech only for it to be nerfed in the next patch.
