Warhammer 40k. We need another squad-based tactics 40k game like Chaos Gate in the old days.

I'm so glad someone actually took me up on the "correct me if i'm wrong" point. I'd looked at the about page before, but hadn't seen this. Thanks! (Less thanks for the "apparently without even trying to look" mild snideness.)

Except, as noted in the PCGamer article, legit customers have reported the error effecting them, too. That's more concerning, but inevitable, really. http://www.pcgamer.com/2014/09/04/sims-4-mosaic-bug-turns-out-to-be-surprise-anti-piracy-measure/ Slightly off-topic: I wish people wouldn't...

To be fair, everyone does make mistakes (I bought Dear Esther) but a quick look at this guy's twitter pre-XBone scandal is an education in how to be a football nut.. That said, his latest tweet: "@DevanteHeesom it's not my" is in response to someone asking if he's going to be enjoying Dead...

Not quite sure I'd call the people here the worst of the gaming community. At least they're not foul mouthing each other - yet. I think I agree with you to some extent - there's a lot of vitriol going on here and while I disagree with the guy getting the console, a fair bit of this has gone...

And nor did I ever say they did - I said I personally have issues with a four year old child playing games in which one kills hundreds of people. I don't think it would have a long-term effect, I just don't like the idea that four is considered an acceptable age to witness violence. In what...

Of course he didn't deserve to get screwed over - no one does in these circumstances. But what games is that four year old going to play? Ryse? CoD:Ghosts? Assassins' Creed: 4? I don't think many would support a four year old playing those titles. It may be unfair of me to judge based on his...

True, but as I've already said: It feels like said goodwill gesture was born out of his claim that the console was for his kid, which I simply refuse to believe.

Indeed. He certainly deserved a refund, not a free console. He certainly doesn't deserve neutering. EDIT: On a side note, what's the use in neutering someone who has already had a child..?

A largely second-hand entertainment dealer in the UK - pays out barely anything for a trade-in, charges full price for the second hand console. The usual. It does confuse me a little that they'd use this as a marketing technique. On the one hand, yes they're going to look good for giving away...

I'm certainly not bitter, I'm in my Wii U/PC happyland! True, I think the issue is a wider one of the morality of someone being rewarded for a bad decision. That said, for me the issue is one that is seemingly being played down, as I said in my original comment: he's a 19 year old lad, the...

This I can agree with more than people defending the guy's purchase. The generosity is genius marketing, especially in the run up to the festive season.

I think what the primary issue is isn't that he was refunded for making a genuine mistake - that's right and fair. It's that he's been refunded AND rewarded for making the genuine mistake.

Ridiculous. This idiot is an idiot who made an idiotic decision and has been rewarded by a clever marketing scheme. But on a more serious note, he should not have been rewarded for this. He should have learned the "always read the description" lesson. He already got his refund via PayPal and...

I quite like the name War Face. I have no idea what it is, but it puts in mind a Kinect game - a rail shooter which automatically does everything. However, your character's speed and strength is determined by the quality of the "war face" the player pulls.
