You could've fixed it yourself but didn't, could have asked on SFV but didn't, HS did end up sending you the fridge and not making you pay for it again like some of the real assholes would do
This is how they treated a paying customer - not a fan, not someone who goes to MTS2, not someone they didn't know - a paying customer on a business that shouldn't exist.
And not being the worst of the worst arsehole is not really an excuse to cut them some slack. I don't know if you've noticed, but this is "paysites must be destroyed" - not "paysites must be destroyed except for a couple we'll defend to the death".
I could have avoided all this grief if I had just done it myself!
Maybe so - to save yourself the grief - but at the end of the day, they still got your money, and their behaviour was shabby.
where am I defending them? I don't agree with donation sets, or with straight up paysites at all, I'd love to see them go completely free and will admit it annoyed the hell out of me that I paid for their donation sets a couple of weeks before I found PMBD - I just don't see the need for the whole burning pitchforks in this instance because they weren't like peggy or thomas or rose. we're trying to encourage them to go 100% free in another thread here, yeah? I know they've been considering it but I know if I were one of the pair of them and I were wavering on whether to go 100% free or not, if I read something like that tearing them to shreds even after they'd given the player a gift file, replaced the file in question and making a massive drama out of it, I'd be thinking "why am I entertaining the thought of accomodating these people?". catch more flies with honey and all that jazz...
