Excuse me while I sit here pissed off, breaking stuff. I just downloaded 1.2 f***ing GIGABYTES from fileplanet so that I could play the Sims Online FREE Playtest. It took me 3 days. I've been looking forward to this FREE playtest. After all, what's better than getting a game for FREE? (can you see what I'm getting at here?)
"Please register an account so we can let you play the Sims Online."
Ok, I can handle that.
"Billing Options"
Huh?
"Please enter your credit card number. Remember, this playtest is free and your card will not be charged."
IF IT'S FREE, THEN WHY DO THEY NEED MY F***ING CREDIT CARD NUMBER?!?!?
You know what's the most annoying thing about this? I DON'T HAVE A CREDIT CARD! I have to borrow my mum's card instead. But my mum won't let me use it, because she thinks Maxis will secretly take thousands out of her account.
"Mum, here's a terms of service and a licence agreement and a privacy statement. If they were to steal from you (which they obviously wouldn't), you could use these in court against them."
"This is a website. Anyone can close down a website. Then I wouldn't be able to do anything about it."
GGGGGGAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!!!!
*punches desk*
*crushes mouse*
*rips up paper*
Why?
Just Why?
(edit: censored the rude words in fear of the mods. I apologise for wasting your time reading this, I just needed to vent my anger. I'm better now. This will probably get moved to rants anyway.
