MLB The Show 17 Apologizes For Server Issues, Giving Users 10 Standard Packs & More

[thekidisback]

So this means server error problems are guaranteed gone? This month and a half long process is finally resolved? I can start going for missions with guarantees they will count and the game will work like it's supposed to?

Look through my post history, I've been critical of the server issues. But I also went out of my way not to play game modes that were heavily online reliant and went as far as to not play the game for a week or two while they were ironing out the issues. So I lost time as well. For me, this is an adequate sub for the time I lost. I know others that lost more may feel otherwise, but they could have done nothing like other companies have done in similar circumstances.

Also if you felt strongly there was still time after or close to after the release to sell the game for near full price and buy it again at a discount once the issues were figured out

I will defer to you on this so I agree. I know nothing about stubs or their value, was just going off on what others have said.

That said, I agree, if users wouldn't have bought them it really isn't the equivalent to a "refund."

But with that being said I still believe anyone would be well within their rights to pursue a refund if they felt strongly enough about it. Whether a company can afford to give someone a refund really has no bearing on whether or not someone is entitled to one.

I don't have anyone requesting requests for a refund for anything they don't feel sufficiently fulfills their expectations.

I also know it's unrealistic, especially with the world video games are in. Servers aren't perfectly stable and probably never will be.

There is a known risk to buying anything, even an apple at the grocery store (terribly analogy, I know), I just think it's going down a rabbit hole that won't go anywhere.

I've never been effect outside the first day or two but I don't do online nonetheless the 11,000 stubs will come in handy..

Right. People are well within their rights to go after a refund if a product doesn't meet their expectations. But that's between the customer and their place of purchase. The developers aren't the ones directly selling the game, so they're providing compensation for their issues in the easiest/best/only way they can, with in-game items.
