Patch Appeal

Community Group Goal
----------------------------------
The Star Wars Republic Commando Patch Appeal Community is for SWRC gamers who would like to publicise the need for official game updates to ensure this classic remains compatible with today's gaming environment.

Community Etiquette
-------------------------------
Joining this community implies you support its goals and will adhere to them through any comments you make. Comments made in bad taste will be removed.

LucasArts' President, Darrell Rodriguez' says "This effort is going to make it possible to introduce a whole new generation of gamers to LucasArts' classic games."

We say, this is great news but please support that effort with patches that bring SWRC up to date with current hardware specifications and gaming trends.

Better Business Bureau Complaint

6 January, 2010 - arramus | 7 Comments

We recently submitted the following complaint to the local 'Better Business Bureau' in which Valve Corporation is located.

COMPLAINT
Valve Corporation operates an online business called Steam. Steam provides an outlet for PC game publishers to sell their games via download content.

There are occasions when a game is released with issues that will not allow the end user to use the game application as it described in the sales description.

In such an instance Steam will not provide a refund and instead refer the customer to the publisher's website to ask for technical support.
Steam justify this stance by saying they simply sell the product and offer no other support.

However, I have 2 issues with this stance:

1) The product supplied does not match the advertising claims.

2) It is not possible to play the game as a standalone product. Users must install the Steam application and play the game through that portal. Attempting to start a game without running it through the Steam application installed will be met by a message that the Steam application needs to be installed.

RESOLUTION
I am seeking the following.

1) Refund in full when the product fails to meet advertisement claims.

2) Recognise your relationship with the publisher as more than just an online retail outlet. Ensuring the end user has to have the Steam application installed to play a purchased game warrants a level of responsibility that goes beyond the realms of purely sales.

Anchorhead Fight Week - Jan 2nd ~ 10th

24 December, 2009 - arramus | 0 Comments

The Sandcrawler Network is hosting an RC Fightweek Event from early January 2010. If you experienced an ER BattleWeek event then it'll be something along those lines.

http://www.sandcrawler.net/forum/afw.php?setsite=afw

A couple of random prizes (Killing Floor and Frontlines: Fuel of War) are up for grabs to any players who complete. As the prizes are random, it's activity that counts rather than performance.

Get your clan and players registered and clean off those blasters.
