This is fucking annoying. I’m tired of being treated like a second class citizen for choosing to not install spywareOS on my computer.
Fuck these companies. I’m refunding my wardogs purchase.
The previous beta was fine. First For Honor and now Wardogs. Fucking shameful.
e: I was wrong, user below is correct
Why even pre-purchase a digital game ?
Pre-order bonus items?
My reasoning was that I enjoyed the beta so much I was 100% going to be playing this game on launch. I had already come to that conclusion.
$20 discount if you pre-order during beta, $10 discount if you buy during EA
Btw. from what I've found, people are claiming that Stream's refund rule is less than 2hr play time AND less than 14 days since purchase. And allegedly the play test (beta) doesn't count towards those, so those timers would start when the game enters early access on September 10. I mean I hope that's true, so personally I'm going to avoid going into the shooting range (people were saying they could circumvent the AC and do that yesterday) and then I'll request a refund the 20th if they haven't sorted it out by then.
Because they actively encouraged users to prepurchase the game, play the beta, and refund if they didn't like it. Many prepurchased based on previous comments about supporting proton and are now considering refunding based on recent comments.
