The cleverness of queuing to download has completely angered all users, because Microsoft ignores a basic common sense, that is, in the United States, or around the world, network fees are charged according to time.
There may be many friends who never know. Until around 2006, the cost of Internet access was calculated according to minutes. You need to pay how many minutes of Internet access you have every day.
The same is true in the United States. The mainstream charging strategies of operators are calculated by minutes. Only Fusang's xiamu network has opened the monthly charging mode in advance.
After all, boss Jia himself forgot that he had spent a day of one minute and one dime online fee. Instinctively, he set the fee of xiamu network to monthly fee, and realized the great progress of this network ten years in advance.
But obviously most players in the world are not so lucky, so when they see that they have to queue up to download super sunshine Mario, they are completely desperate.
Because the network connection must be maintained in the queue. Even if it only needs to queue for 24 hours, it is also a huge cost. If the time exceeds 72 hours, the network fee in the queue can buy a copy of super sunshine Mario.
Therefore, these players can only choose to give up downloading in despair, and then swear in their hearts that they will never open the broken website of box game store again.
Five days later, Microsoft finally adjusted the server, lifted the download queue, and announced with confidence that everyone can download super sunshine Mario.
Then these players went online one after another, entered the website, and then downloaded super sunshine Mario.
However, after the download and installation were successful, these players immediately quit the game after playing for more than an hour, and then neatly chose the refund function to directly return the purchased super sunshine Mario. Then they found that the returned points were actually box points. Obviously, these points can only be used to buy other games.
It's hard to describe how the players feel at this time. They don't want to buy games on the box game platform anymore, but they don't want to make these game points cheap. Box games, a strong sense of revenge began to brew in the hearts of these players.
But what can you do if you don't buy Games in the store?
While many players were thinking hard, a talented player suddenly saw in the rule bar published by the box game that the box points can also be directly purchased in the offline box game store.
According to the description in this rule, players can choose to buy physical games with points when buying games, and then someone will deliver them home.
Or go directly to each box game offline store and use points to buy all kinds of goods in the box game store.
In fact, this is also the focus of detonating players' anger. When the initial download explosion, many players thought about buying offline Physical Games directly through the website.
After all, that's how the steam game store next door plays, and the experience is very good. As long as it's not in a remote area, you can receive the game within 24 hours a day.
Although you need to pay a tip of about $3, the door-to-door experience is still great.
I thought that the box game has nearly 20000 stores around the world, and the delivery speed should be faster. However, when users choose to buy entities, the web page actually tells players that there are no units nearby that can be delivered, so offline delivery is not possible.
"But there is a box game store on the street next to my house!" seeing this news, many players called and angrily questioned the customer service, but the customer service phone either couldn't get through, or it was very simple. I'm very sorry. It really can't deliver goods.
Many players are angry.
In fact, this can't blame the box game store. The main reason is that the relationship between the box game store and franchisees is very tense. Franchisees are opposed to online game sales. Now you want them to take the initiative to support online game sales and deliver goods to various customers. It's just wishful thinking.
Although there is a three dollar tip for delivering goods, these three dollars belong to the delivery man. What does it have to do with the franchisee?
Franchisees can't earn a penny, so franchisees are very tough to refuse the requirements of offline delivery. In order to launch the game as soon as possible, the troubled deputy secretary general can only temporarily give up this function and plans to teach these ignorant franchisees a lesson in the future.
But players don't know this. They just think that Microsoft and box games are professional monkeys. They are angry with box games and their franchisees until they find that there are regulations that can directly use points to buy goods in physical stores.
Therefore, these refunded players simply rushed to the nearby steam game store, took out their box game store account and planned to buy things directly in the store.
At first, the franchisees were stupid and didn't know what these people were doing. Later, these players found out the clear provisions in the rules, and these franchisees were even more stupid. Some franchisees even had tears in their eyes.
They can't live at all.
Some people may wonder that these players also spent real gold and silver to buy points. What can they do now with the same points to buy goods in the store? Are they so sad?
Of course, these franchisees are sad, because the money for purchasing points is directly returned to the company headquarters, and the money has been paid.
The consumption of points is in these franchisees, allowing players to take real goods directly from their stores. Although Microsoft said that the points purchased will also be distributed according to the share, it must be calculated according to the sales share agreement of the network version. In other words, Microsoft can give merchants a return money at most. The rest of the profits are paid by Microsoft itself and game developers, and franchisees can't get anything.
Of course, franchisees can't do such a wrong thing, so they simply refuse the player's purchase request.
But these players are also very iron headed. They are already full of anger and want to return blood through physical goods. As a result, the box game store wanted to completely pit all their money. It didn't even want to recognize the terms written in the contract.
Well, the American people like smashing things very much. As soon as this mood comes up, many box game stores that insist on refusing to sell are full of sticks and guns.
