It might not get played for a couple of weeks.
Buying your product and returning it is the least efficient way to install something for free.ģ days time limit for a refund? Grandma buys a birthday present for her little nipper.
Any significant piece of software has already been cracked and can already be downloaded via torrent. The only people who will suffer is those publishing poor quality games in a attempt to grab cash.ĭRM isn't really an issue. (In fact the most successful retail companies go even further and offer refunds for change of mind, as long as the product is still saleable). Consumer protection leads to consumer confidence. Strong consumer protection law benefits everybody. These provisions already applied to software, they were just difficult to enforce, often requiring court action. Product is different from a sample shown.
It's just a rehash of existing consumer protection laws and specifically affirming there applicability to software.Ĭonsumer protection law in civilised* countries requires a refund in three situations LOL, when it crashes, it crashes quick & clean, none of this let Windows gather more information business.
The Windows Edge bugs clearly wasn't tested near enough - it seems to be related to their predictive pre-browsing and pre-fetching. The File Explorer bug seems to be the same bug around since Windows 7, can't imagine how they haven't identified and fixed it by now. Windows Edge by the way is ridden with bugs and less so, the File Explorer in Windows 10. The way OSes manage apps are being programmed now with these TSR notifications and memory residency your carefully optimized and tested app will fail on plenty of people's platforms when the OS runs out of memory, because every app they ever downloaded just had to turn on notifications with which to spam you with such as the ridiculous new 'Twitter Moments' expecting you to look back in fondness as yet another business decides their own product isn't relevant so maybe we'd better include a international news feed to make their product seem more relevant. That said, every time I've ask for a refund in the Apple App Store I've gotten it which isn't often as I don't shop much there. However, there are enough platforms that current SW is untested on that plenty of people do have a legitimate complaint for a refund. This is probably people that binge shop and want refunds.
