Not only that, the connection drops constantly. I played the entire Sly trilogy over streaming with playstation plus, because I didn't own a Playstation. It dropped. Fucking. Constantly. CONSTANTLY!

It was the worst way to experience a good game.

You basically have to guarantee you'll provide the best connection anyone has ever seen. And that's not gonna happen, not when you have several people fighting over Bandwidth.

Why didn’t you stop? Why didn’t you do anything besides eat their shit for three whole games?

...I mean I bought a month's worth of sub, I may as well get what I paid for.

How is that a comparison? I rented the service. I wanted to play the games. I, at the time wasn't really knoweldgeable about emulation.

Jesus, Reddit cant act normal can it?

Your own words:

"Not only that, the connection drops constantly."

"It was the worst way to experience a good game."

And last one where you argue that you have to do something in order to play BUT it will not happen:

"that's not gonna happen, not when you have several people fighting over Bandwidth."

I am arguing that you did a sunk cost fallacy. You did not get what you paid for. You acted idiotic by your own words. You are right you rented it. But you were not given the object/service you wanted to order. You are an idiot consumer-ones that business like. I would not be surprised if you get another game the same way and complain again.

I never rented the service again. I used it while I had it. I did not enjoy the experience.

Being this aggressive is how you turn people against causes you support. Quit pinging my inbox or I'll force you to stop.

You would force me to stop? You are now threatening me? Yes lets talk about aggression.

I think you think this is a larger conversation then it is. I was not trying to convince you on any side of support. I used logic and facts. And also your own words.

And just so you know this is what you said: "If you are mean to me I will not believe anything you say even if it is logical and correct."

I was not aggressive. I just used a similar comparison so you could see how it sounds when you remove it from the situation into a similar situation.

You were the one that extrapolated a lot and said I was the one "not acting normal." I then just quoted you. And then you responded with a threat.

They bought a subscription to play some games, had a shitty experience doing so, then chose not to renew the subscription because of the experience.

You called them an idiot consumer for doing so. What exactly made them an idiot? Buying the subscription or continuing to use it after it didn’t live up to expectations?

That is a poor reading. I called them an idiot consumer for defending to keep playing and engaging something that they said was a bad experience. They kept playing for 30 days! Literally I just quoted what they said. It kept dropping and was overall a bad experience. Lets say they only did it twice a week. That would be 8 sessions of I am assuming multiple hours. And lets be real prob more then just twice a week.

Even more if they would of demanded a refund from it not working they could of gotten their money back instead of engaging with something they were not enjoying; and had no reason to believe it was going to get better.
