Turbine Responds To DDO Community Protest

Zarrot writes "Turbine has listened to the community and backed away from the partnership with SuperRewards that we discussed yesterday. Quoting: 'Based on your feedback, we're stepping away from the "Offer" category for now. We'll keep exploring alternate ways for players who want points to get them. We'll also continue to innovate in pricing and accessibility because that's who we are. As of today, the Offer Wall is coming down. We'll collect all the feedback we've received over the last few days and will use it to guide future decisions.'"

Quit thinking you deserve one.

They didn't insult your mother. They didn't cause the death of one of your children. Your name wasn't slandered, and you have as many fingers and toes today as you had last week. You have no need for someone to grieve for your negligible losses in order for you to recuperate. You were getting exactly what you were paying for -- there is no apology neccessary to complete your transactions.

They tried to increase the revenues it takes to keep these games alive, while providing (what they imagined to be) a fair stipend on the side of the player -- a digital share of the increase. It was a call made in judgement that ran counter to their userbase so they revoked the motion as soon as possible. "Sorry we considered giving you guys some more stuff at no cost to yourselves!" is an unwarranted apology. Demanding an apology only makes the apology meaningless.
