Refunds?

Post by TheBlackRabbit » Wed Jan 26, 2011 7:00 pm

I hate to do this to the Dev team, :cry: but I recently had to switch to another PC (about the equivalent to the one I used to play the alpha) and I'm running into numerous problems launching, from "Not a valid Win32 Application", to random crashes. Plus, I can only load 2 of the maps, they only load when they please, and the game runs ridiculously slow when I load an AI. I have FULL intentions on purchasing the game once I see that it has a decent Tech Support for the release, and after I upgrade my PC, but for the time being, I would really appreciate a refund. I absolutely adore Wolfire and can't wait for Overgrowth, but what is the process on obtaining a refund? I read when pre-ordering that they had a Refund policy, and now I cant seem to find it.

I'm sure they will refund you. But why? You will get the full game on release anyway, why not just keep it and wait?

I am pretty sure you won't get a refund just because you changed PCs and the game doesn't work. It just doesn't work that way.

Because I want to be sure that the final release of the game will run on this other PC, and that there will be a good Tech team. If the game is released, and I pre-ordered, there will be no refunds and I will be out of luck AND 30 dollars.

Okay, basically I would just like a valid answer on whether or not they offer refunds on pre-orders. If not, than so be it, but there are so many bugs it's unplayable at the moment. I am 99% sure that I read a refund statement during pre-order, did I read this correctly or am I mistaken?
Also, it seems to me that the main reason someone would pre-order would be for the weekly Alphas, so if I'm not able to play them, than I would like my money back for the time being, if possible.

If you would like a refund all you have to do is email [email protected] with an explanation of the situation.

PS: Even after the game is released refunds will be possible (I only state this because you assumed the opposite)

There seriously is no point in a refund when you are going to just repurchase the game again. If people got a refund every time a game doesn't work on that computer then a lot of money would be lost to the developers.

the fact that you can have the game on more than one of your personal computers also makes me think it's kind of pointless.

Its pointless. Just sit tight man and you'll get the game sooner or later. And, if you still be eager for a refund, you'll get it even after release, as mentioned above.
