If you are buying OOTP from a discounted third party then you are not fully supporting OOTP. That's just a fact. It doesn't matter who says it, it's just a fact.

Not sure if you've checked but it costs the same on amazon so not sure why you're calling people cheap. I can only assume you've paid full price and didn't take advantage of any pre order discount. If you did get a discount then you're a hypocrite. |

For the record I bought te game from te OOTp site but if someone did find the game cheaper from a third party Leave them alone. Times are hard a few bucks save can mean a lot for some people. Not everyone here are 40 year virgins some of us have responsibilities, wife, children in my case I also have a very ill
Mother which cost me money to try to keep her alive on top of my wife, and other expenses. Don't rag on people for wanting to save a few bucks |

Someone asked if they could get updates if they bought the game on Amazon. You decided to start telling people they're cheap if they don't "fully" support OOTP. Then you went to say anyone could argue your point, but not "insult". Nice one...... |

This is turning out to be one of the silliest threads ever. Amazon couldn't sell OOTP without Markus giving the go ahead, so if he doesn't mind, why should we. I bet he simply wants to get his game into as many hands as possible. I for one was introduced to this game when I purchased Season Ticket for $4.99 at Office Depot.

Customers are customers. The cut that a third party gets is essentially a marketing cost to OOTP and one that OOTP apparently feels is worthwhile in the effort to spread a wider web than would exist if the game could only be purchased from their web store.
They made the decision; I am sure that they are ok with the ramifications and greatly appreciate all customers, even those being unfairly urinated on here in this thread.

I really like how you "Fully" support OOTP.
A potential future customer asks a question about purchasing the game on Amazon. Your marketing strategy (Full Support) is to tell him he's cheap if he buys it from Amazon. Keep up the good work Wolf, before you know it sales will be through the roof. |

Perhaps sales there and comments from those who purchase and suggesting that people who bought OOTP might also like FHM (which they will undoubtedly do when that is fully up and running) are things that they believe will lead to greater sales and profits. I really don't think they need you to save them from decisions that they have made by kicking their customers. Perhaps I am wrong and that is exactly what they want but I sort of doubt it.

Bluenoser: You realize that you lost the argument, so now you are just tossing insults? Nice.

How did he lose the argument? He is entitled to his view just like you. And has a consumer he has the right to pay what he wants. He is just making the point that Its not nice to insult people from wanting but from a third party. The customer has the right
to buy from whatever source he wants. Last edited by Padreman; 07-25-2013 at 12:12 PM. |
