Thread: Boycott the game in its initial release, if only for the first week

    Default Boycott the game in its initial release, if only for the first week

    So I've posted a thread yesterday reasoning 'why we shouldnt pre-order the game' and more crucially, why should we boycott it.
    Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 

    But one of our wise moderator in his eternal wisdom, with no CA affiliation im sure, saw fit to merge and bury that post with another popular thread - 'why you should pre-order.'
    Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 


    Honesty I'm a bit disgruntled by this 'coincidental' merge because well:

    If Donald Trump can have his dissenting views on the front page of every major media outlet why should my be silenced?

    So I'm making another thread, a poll, hopefully more authentic this time, to see a show of hands and solidarity, of how many of us will boycott this game.

    Edit: a video released by angry joe on this warhammer pre-release DLC

    Reg: They've taken everything we had and what have they ever given us in return!?
    Xerxes: The aqueduct. Reg: Oh yeah, yeah they gave us that. Yeah that's true.
    Activist 1: And the sanitation!
    Stan: Oh yes...sanitation, Reg you remember what the city used to be like.
    Reg: all right, that's two things that the Romans have done...
    Matthias: And the roads...
    Reg: Well yes obviously the roads goes without saying. But apart from...
    Activist 2, 3, 4, 5: Irrigation...Medicine...Education...and the wine...
    Francis: Yeah the wine. That's something we'd really miss if the Romans left.

    Your poll is terrible. Try not to throw your own biases into it because none of those options apply to most people.

    Make it less biased and I will vote in this poll.

    I voted I won't boycott because this is risk-free DLC. I don't plan on pre-ordering other DLC, just this one, because it's the only way to get it free and I can renege if the game is terrible. You all need to calm down.

    Yes, truth can be very bias, welcome to reality.

    "it's the only way to get it free?" You know what else can get you this DLC for free? Have CA to include this stripped content in the first place. The Chaso race is one of several default races in the warhammer universe and they have been stripped as a DLC for what? So they can punish people whom refuses to support this corporate exploitative practice and late comers to the franchise?

    To repeat an example ive used in one of the earlier posts, this practice is equivalent as offering 'free' roofs and walls as we purchase their houses, and eventually convince us to paying addition for its doors, lights and windows.

    Their are feeding us with false generosities, shoving it down our throats and leaving us craving for more, its pure evil.

    Would only work if you pre-decide to refund. Otherwise they'll cut 2 races out of the next installment of the series.

    There is already a thread which deals with the topic of pre-ordering. You're free to discuss the merits of either not pre-ordering, or pre-ordering there. As well, if you wish to comment on moderation, please do so in the Moderation Commentary Thread. Closed.
