TDU: Sample of how Atari doesn't care about their customers...
foxhound009 | 3:17 PM on 10.06.2007 3 comments


Here's my story.. on day (last friday) I was going to buy something at Media Markt, Europe, I'm going trough the store and then I've spotted something I've forgotten about. I've spotted a nice copy of Testdrive Unlimited... it was only 25 euros, since I have watched like a 20 trailers of the game and recently upgraded my pc to recommended level of new games I thought why the hell not.





So I was rushing to my home on a bike with speed of a ferrari thinking about how to pwn somebody,
but when I installed it and tried to enter some multiplayer in online mode.... it would give me a message how I "can't reach another player, connection problems" blabla or something like that.
And this is when it started, I went on the atari forum/support site and found dozens of guys like me who either had my problem or couldn't connect to server at all! There are guys who emailed the
atari but for a weeks hadn't got any answers... there were supposed to be some kind of patch some
time ago but there was nothinnnn..... So here I say Atari you do not care about me, customer, your cash. Atleast an reply on the forum would be nice......
the readme file about opening ports didn't help either....
You're gonna do something to prove me wrong???




How much of you gamers have recently encounterd such things... where you feel like one pissed of customer?

There are many times where I feel like a pissed off consumer (I bought an iPod video. Nuff said.)

Maybe there's some new problem that they're working on? I don't know. The game was bad to boot. Controls were shitty. It was a good idea, but badly executed.

Car mods are also dull and bland. From what I've gotten from Forza and Need for Speed, it's uninspiring to try and go for the other cars.

the game's cool, the service is just really bad.
This is what I call mindless money making....
They make money now, but next time I see an atari game.. I won't be too keen to buy it.

It reminds me of another company... EA when buying Northern Strike booster pack You've got only 6 months for installing and reintalling it after that you're done... unless you pay an extra fee ofcourse....

Gaming is going in some odd direction.
