Another update..
If you think that the game is defective you can return it to the warranty department.
LalitAs soon as the copy reaches the warehouse your refund will be processed.
youI am little concerned that you feel the physical game is faulty. My issue is with the actual game itself not the disc. The software is flawed not the hardware.
LalitYes that is what I an trying to explain John, game can be refunded only if it falls within the refund criteria.
Lalitthe campaign issue is a known issue and our developer team ia already working on it
LalitAnd I hope it'll be fixed as soon as possible.
youBut the criteria do not include "game ceases to perform to basic standards". If I bought a car and it didnt work, I'd return it. This is the same situation
youCan I have my money back whilst they work on it?
LalitHad it been possible, I would’ve definitely done it for you. But we do not have the tools to process your request.
youWho in EA does?
Conversation in full. BTW, no better off. Thanks EA!
Lalit: Thanks for contacting EA Customer Experience, my name is Lalit. How may I assist you today?
you: I'd like to know how I can go about obtaining a refund for Battlefield 4?
Lalit: I understand your concern. I will do my best to help you.May I know from where did you purchased the game.
you: Game in Sheffield
Lalit: May I know why you wish to get the refund for the game.
you: Because neither the single player campaign nor the multiplayer actually work
Lalit: John as it is a third party purchase you can contact the retailer from whom you have purchased the game.
you: I don't have issue with the retailer, I have issue with the game. I want EA to acknowledge the game is flawed and as a customer, I am entitled to a refund.
Lalit: I understand your concern. But the game can only be refunded if it falls within the refund criteria of EA's refund policy.
Lalit: As you have paid money to the retailer then he must be able to assist you regarding the issue.
you: Are you telling me that the game failing to function is not within this policy?
you: The retailer will laugh in my face!
Lalit: I apologize for the technical difficulties that you’ve been facing with the game.
you: Thank you. That has helped. Now, how do you intend to resolve my technical difficulties?
Lalit: We can try to troubleshoot the issues you are facing with the game.
you: The issues are that the campaign is resetting itself. This i believe to be a global problem. The multiplayer will not allow me to join any games as the servers are busy. The only resolution I see is to get rid of a malfunctioning game.
