Competition for elite?

I know this topic has been done to death, but I found this very witty piece that I just had to share here from another forum.

Hey all,

I'm having a really hard time right now. And i'm not sure what to do.

I have been driving my old car off and on for about 7 years and it has been awesome, but it was getting older and when I heard about the new model about 3 years ago, I decided to save up some money and buy it. But it has some problems and i'm not sure what to do.

I went to the dealership on Friday, November 15th, and the brand new car I wanted was sitting on the showroom floor. It had all the bells and whistles I wanted! And let me tell you, it was so pretty. The salesman showed me around and told me about all the features it had and assured me it was better than my old car. I wasn't allowed to test drive it, because I either had to pre-order one or buy the car first. But considering how well the last model held up, I decided to bite the bullet and buy the car.

This is where things get weird...

After purchasing the vehicle and the sales guy handed me the keys, Burt, Ben.. I can't remember his name.. but it started with a B; I got in the car to drive home and it was missing the steering wheel. I couldn't believe it. There must be a mistake. Appalled, I looked around the seats and the floor to find it. But it wasn't there. I opened the glovebox and found a 3 page manual which didn't help, so I got out of the car to have a look around at the rest of the vehicle.

Upon inspection of my newly purchased car, I noticed a lot of promised features missing. But they weren't premium things like trim, or XM radio or anything like that. I was missing the rear fender completely, and the front right tire had a spare on it. Why do I have 3 perfectly good wheels but 1 spare tire on the front? Seriously what the hell was going on here?

So I cried out to Bart, "Hey!! I think there has been a mistake! This isn't the car you promised me on the showroom floor. I can't even drive it because it's missing a steering wheel!!" And I kid you not, he looked right at me and said, "You're welcome!! Thank you for the GREAT feedback!! This car has been a huge success!" and he ran off. o_O

Totally bewildered, I turned around to see hundreds of customers with similar problems. I even watched a guy get in his car after he bought it, drive off, and then crash in to a pole. One customer was sitting on the curb rocking back and forth, crying, and nothing I said made him feel better. I saw one guy screaming down the road at 100mph yelling, "I don't have a GPS and I can't turn my head!!!" and was suddenly out of sight. I saw people screaming obscenities, and even worse... people that appeared to be in a zombie-like state staring out of their windows. I even saw some folks jump in their OLD car and drive away! It was crazy, they just left their new car sitting there. And just when I thought I was losing my mind, I hear a guy in his new car crank up the music on the stereo system yelling out of the window, "This new car is awesome!!!"

Out of complete disillusionment, I called out to the guy blasting his music and asked, "Why do you like this car?! It's completely broken!" And you wont believe his response. He calmly turned his music down and spoke to me with an angelic voice. (It was really very soothing) And he said, "Don't worry. It will all be okay. The car manufacturer will fix everything, eventually. These things happen when you buy new cars."

Now I can't be sure, but I SWEAR the guy had a nametag and was wearing the same shirt Benny was. But I can't be certain, and I was angry. I wanted to be mad at this guy, but he was clearly gone. Out of his mind. And I don't claim to be the smartest person in the world, but is it too much to ask for a steering wheel when you purchase a car? I mean, I put down a lot of money to buy this thing and it's barely driveable.. if at all?

I had enough and decided to leave. But just as I turned around to walk home, I received a tap on my shoulder, and to my surprise, it was Bernie! He said, "Here kid, you're going to need this." and handed me an XBOX controller.

It would appear this is the second game in recent memory thats been on steam and has had massive complaints.. WarZ, now x-rebirth. They ended up refunding everyones money for WarZ.

Can't you ask for a refund for a steam game? Once per account or something?

Yes, a few people have been refunded already on this one by Steam. A guy was sending out PM instructions to the many who were asking how he did it.

You got to give ES credit... they have kept the forums open through most of this firestorm. They could have easily closed it and claimed technical difficulties, waiting for the heat to dissipate, but they didn't.
