We can sit here speculating about how easy it is to modify sql databases and who could do what etc . But as we are not on the inside none of us can really say for sure what needs to happen. End of the day the technicalities don’t really matter but what is clear is this company gives zero f**ks about anything other than profit and negative PR.. because bottom line is unless it impacts one of those they have clearly decided to not allocate any resource away from other work to fix this.
So impacting profit is going to be hard unless a significant amount of users refuse to buy their products in the future and stand by this .. I will be personally doing this but I can’t vouch for anyone else. However what we can do is create some negative PR for the company by highlighting this underhanded practice to the gaming press, YouTube, social media etc.
So that is where I’m going to be putting my effort. Posting on here is just a waste of time now imo. I mean how many more pages does this thread need to be before they think hang on we might need to do something about this!?
