That's pretty bad customer service. How do you NOT know if someone gets a free upgrade from V3 to V4? That should be common knowledge for a CS rep. And if you're new and don't know, tell the customer that you'll find out.
And, after that chat, the rep probably just closed out of it and laughed about it with his co-workers instead of showing that to a supervisor/mgr that could escalate the concerns of a customer that wanted to actually buy it.
Bad customer service + lack of availability = reasons to pira... errr, find unauthorized copies.
Is it better for 100 criminals to go free to keep the 1 innocent out of prison? How would you feel if one of those criminals went free and killed your family?
How would YOU feel if YOU were that 1 innocent imprisoned for even just a short while, for whatever reason? Oh, but we can't release you because you were convicted. Lack of evidence be damned.
I was once falsely accused by a friends girlfriend attacking her (breaking into her house and trying to assault or rape her) but when questioned by cops, along with my reaction and a receipt I had for a fast food stop I made, they realized that I was innocent. But what if I didn't have that receipt? The cops would have had to believe my incredulous reaction to realize it wasn't me.
So AC, innocent until proven guilty. Remember that.
there are a handful of divergent animes that seemed to only pull likenesses and names from the source material.
What?? You mean they're stealing the work of others and profiting from it?? How dare they make something that people want to view that's based on someone elses hard work. Ohh, the horror!
Why is this allowed to go on? Quick, someone call the copyright police to send out the C&D letters to these damn infringers!
I really don't care if they hate the name. I'm just sick of people claiming to be "offended" by every little thing.
Indians don't like the use of the name "Redskins!" Waaah, get over it.
Pacifists didn't like the name of the Washington Bullets, so they caved and became the Washington Wizards.
Who else has an Indian name? Chicago Blackhawks. Or the Atlanta Braves. Or the Florida Seminoles. I'm sure some are offended by that. Come on, let's change the team name to appease the minority that hates the name.
What about the Colorado Avalanche? How insensitive to all the people/towns ever buried in one. Change the name of the team now! And I'm sure there are trees out there that hate the name of the Toronto Maple Leafs. The Oak trees feel left out.
Hypocrisy is one thing, and I agree that the 'skins owner is a douche because of it, but get a grip, people. Get over the over-sensitivity and "everything offends me" mindset.
I never vote on AI even though I watch it. And honestly, I prefered Kris over Adam due mainly to the fact that I doubt I could handle Adam's high-pitch screeching for more than 3 songs in a row.
As for the texting.. I'd like to see the numbers and what the margin of victory was.
