If the people were not happy with the "Spring of 2009" timeline they should not have prepaid and gone on with their life, assuming they have one, rather than come on here griping about something they have created in their own mind as a breech of contract. They mention this "contract", which I don't recall signing, but let's pretend we did. There was nothing in that "contract" that said daily or weekly updates would be forthcoming. |
Please come do business with me. Ill sell you a house or car and not let you have it "til its ready!" haha
some of us are making HUGE leaps of logic. I am not accusing anyone of breach of contract. I am simply pointing out these facts:
#1-any purchase creates an IMPLIED contract between the buyer and seller. An IMPLIED contract is rarely written or at times even expressed verbally. (think of raising your finger to the bartender when ordering a second beer)
#2-I dont think OOTP is doing anything wrong or attempting to mislead anyone. I just think they are struggling in the area of customer service.
#3-In this day and age of computer scams, is it really prudent to promise a product, collect money electronically, and then cease communication? I think not. Again as a OOTP "veteran" (god I hate that term) I am confident that OOTP 10 will be delivered. What confidence can we give to the first time buyer who has little experience with OOTP? Certainly not some of the comments written here...("PAtience grasshopper" is a popular one that is both patronizing and demeaning)
#4-Successful business anticipate the needs, concerns, and perceptions (correct or otherwise) of customers and address them. While that may require more work on the part of the company, many feel it is an effective tool that drives sales and encourages repeat business (WOW how many ties have I typed that)
#5-A business near me has what they call "the boomerang theory." They try to do whatever they can to ensure repeat business. I think that is WAY SMART and think that at times that OOTP, these boards, and their members should subscribe to a similar theory.
#6-Regardless of whether you agree with my point of view or not, it is a legitimate one shared by several who post here and probably by others who do not. I think we want the same things...I just that we disagree on the most effective way to get them.
I'm out
