Avenger. Posted October 25, 2012 Report Share Posted October 25, 2012 That's kinda bull.. why would you punish someone for buying your product? If a mom and pop store breaks a release date... that has nothing to do with an individual consumer. Why are they punishing the consumer? All they're saying is they shouldn't use online before the game comes out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Honor Posted October 25, 2012 Report Share Posted October 25, 2012 A temporary ban is just a slap on the wrist. They might aswell just perma-ban them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackbird 13 Posted October 25, 2012 Report Share Posted October 25, 2012 Plus, this is an WWE '13 Online Axxess ban, not a PSN/XBL ban isn't it? I don't see how that's punishing anybody if they're still working on the servers THAT is well within their rights. I was under the impression that it was an XBL/PSN ban.

Spyke Posted October 25, 2012 Report Share Posted October 25, 2012 Pretty much what I said before. They dont ban you from Live/PSN you just cant get into lobbies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honor Me Posted October 25, 2012 Report Share Posted October 25, 2012 Why are they punishing the consumer? they are punishing the customer for buying it before october 30th probably and I think THQ should have the right to do that. Its not fair to the rest of the fans who have to wait till Street date. Punish the shops for breaking street date. If somebody is given the opportunity to buy something early, they will. You would too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dazman™ Posted October 25, 2012 Report Share Posted October 25, 2012 It's fair this way anyway. The online trophies/achievements will be a nightmare as it is and the last thing we need is a few people getting a head start because they got the game a week early.

Saturi Posted October 25, 2012 Report Share Posted October 25, 2012 I don't see any issues there since one can still enjoy their game offline. It's not that the people will find tons of others online to play with in the first place since most locations are getting the game between the 30th oktober and 2nd november. Would be happy to have the game on friday too and wouldn't care about the online part. It's only for 3 days after all (weekend+monday). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LastMinuteLapras Posted October 25, 2012 Report Share Posted October 25, 2012 1. It says the ban will be lifted when the game is officially released. 2. If you want the game early, but don't want to be banned, just don't connect to XBL/PSN while you play it. Not always true. On PSN, maybe this would work, however, XBL is not so forgiving. Often times, including recently with Halo 4, anyone that plays a game before its release date, even if they play offline, when they get online again, they're 360 will be banned from XBL altogether. You have to be very careful of this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You would too. Exactly blame the shop not the person who has gone out and bought your product. Every game you should have to type a code in so they know where to find the shop. If THQ is giving out free games via some party how is the consumer being blamed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steveviscious Posted October 25, 2012 Report Share Posted October 25, 2012 .................seriously guys..... They don't care if people want to use the servers.....but they AREN'T READY! The message clearly states they are finishing up the testing on them and cannot have outside traffic messing with it, so the only way to control that is to cut everyone off of it until midnight of Oct. 30. Bottom line.....that's really all there is to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DanielHimself Posted October 25, 2012 Report Share Posted October 25, 2012 I'm still convinced they have deliberately told some stores to sell the games early. Though this is a fair ban. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know about other areas, but the US doesn't get WWE13 til' the 30th, meaning if anyone plays WWE13 offline, then logs into Live, they will most likely get banned.
