This is getting insane. It has been more then 2 weeks i bought the game and still i am not able to play multiplayer because no Indian Server is setup. I opened a thread and instead of replying it was deleted and i was getting 'not authorized error'. Why have i spent so much money if i can't even play the game.

You don't need a refund, you need tissues to wipe up your tears.

Asking on the forums won't help much. You could try emailing EA or Steam if you bought it on Steam, but that's a tossup.

This fundamental lack of understanding is the reason for a lot of these "refund" threads. You did not actually "buy" the game, EA owns the game and I doubt they are planning on selling it. What you bought is a license to use the game. Whether you are able to run the game or not is a moot point; EA made good on their promise to license you the product, and you are now a licensed user, hence you have gotten what you paid for.

Actually in countries where there are laws protecting consumers, this game would probably fall under false advertising since so many people bug out on the Semper Fi mission and have problems connecting to the multiplayer.

they are trying to get enough signatures of pissed of gamers to go forward with a lawsuit against EA and Crytek for fraud.

Nope. I'm not stupid enough to do that, and I wasn't stupid enough to buy this game.

There is hardly any populated north american servers either. Maybe 5-7.

I bought this game (licence) because I'm a Crysis fan. I don't need a refund and I liked the game overall... Of course there are bugs that can drive you mad and MP is unplayable yet, but I will keep this game in my collection even those problems are fixed or not. I see many complains about graphics and gameplay, but I like the game and I knew that the graphics will be like that from the demo version... Crysis 2 it's not a masterpiece like Crysis and Crysis Warhead (Wars), it's just a nice game to play...

Nope. I'm not stupid enough to do that, and I wasn't stupid enough to buy this game.

Thats cool, so basically all your posts are invalid.

WAKKA WAKKA!

yeah, stfu and enjoy your unplayable game, fool! c'mon guys let's go back to our love thread

I'm mad. Who else is mad.

What you bought is a license to use the game. Whether you are able to run the game or not is a moot point; EA made good on their promise to license you the product, and you are now a licensed user, hence you have gotten what you paid for.

Actually, EA owns the RIGHTS to the game, as in it is copyrighted material. What they are selling you is a copy of their software that they own the rights to. So, yes, you do OWN their software but it is a copy that you do not possess the rights to reproduce. The whole licensing of software is a recent thing that has been brought on by shady companies through their licensing agreements. If you were using this software under a license agreement you wouldnt be able to trade it in to Gamestop or resell it. http://smallbusiness.findlaw.com/copyright/copyright-basics/copyright-defined-overview.html?DCMP=KNC-Copyright&HBX_PK=what+is+the+copyright+law&HBX_OU=50

Whether you are able to run the game is a moot point? Seriously? EA may have legally fulfilled their obligations in this regard, but it's still a sign of poor business practice. The reason EA is so big is from selling quality software to the public. If a company continually released software that didn't work, they wouldn't be a multi billion dollar company, people wouldn't buy their crap. This has more to do with ethical practice and satisfying public demand, which, I hate to burst your bubble, is a primary goal of most corporations. Because where do they get all of that money?

So really, EA does not legally owe these people a refund, but if they want to keep a positive image for their company they should fix it or issue a refund. One legal boundary I feel they did cross is false advertising. There were multiple web sites claiming this game would include directx 11 support. After the game was released (without said support) all web sites deleted any reference. I'm not sure if Crytek or EA officially claimed it would include dx11, but if they did it opens the door for a lawsuit.

Moral of the story is if a company screws you over like this don't buy their games. Ever since Black Ops I refuse to purchase another Activision game. They are a horrible company from my perspective. Usually EA is really honest and ethical but with the release of this I'm seriously questioning their motives. I'm really glad I refrained from buying this game, it's important in this day and age to watch where your money goes, and I don't want mine going to greedy corporations.

I'd actually be willing to bet that it's mostly Crytek's fault. I doubt that EA or Nvidia is happy about the fact that the game doesn't have DX11.

I'm surprised this is the first game to make you question their motives. Have you played command and conquer 3 or 4?

Or perhaps bad company 2?

Actually DX11 support is still secondary to DX9 due to the overwhelming of people who have not paid the money to upgrade their OS from XP. So from a business perspective they've done the right thing. From an ethical perspective, well I'll leave that up to you.

Wow a whole 4 people signed it, what a joke.

True, I hope all of this is more Crytek's doing. I've always had a lot of respect for EA, and hope they don't start doing crap like this with the rest of their games.

It's a real shame video games have become so popular and mainstream. I remember people giving me a real hard time for my hobby. Now it's the cool thing to do, and corporations see the profits from games like CoD and do whatever they can to maximize their earnings. But that all comes down to business practice in this day and age. What happened to the day when people created something because they were passionate about it? Now, it's all just making the biggest buck you can through manipulation. Greed has become the root motivational cause in our culture, and that's just sad. It's even getting to the point where they say big hollywood directors are looking into creating video games... Maybe I should just go back to Donkey Kong and FFVII.

Fingers crossed for Skyrim. Probably the last good RPG the PC will ever receive. Maybe.

With BioWares recent sellout I understand exactly what you mean.

The bigest EA fail is Command and Conquer Tiberian Twilight...
