Then use brackets, different font to emphasize the meaning or clarify your intention. Otherwise you phrase does sound literal. And laughing at people's expenses is low

They still have reasons to be bitter and you still have no right to act like a jerk

"At other people's expense" is a turn of phrase. It is almost never used in a literal way. CronoDragoon did nothing wrong by using that phrase, and they don't need to use brackets or any such thing to clarify their intent, because they used the phrase properly. You are the one who is misunderstanding. That's like saying people need to clarify they don't literally mean an expensive object costs an "arm and a leg"...

 

Though if you aren't American (not sure if the phrase is used elsewhere?) I can see how you could misunderstand it.

It's a common phrase. If English isn't your first language I can understand the confusion there (not being sarcastic, I know there's a lot of people on these boards from different countries and backgrounds).

 

Regardless this particular point seems to have been a misunderstanding.

I am struggling to find a justified reason for accusing a company of cheating you out of your money because your preordered game was pushed back a month.

[TheMadHarridan]

Bummer. Oh well. I suppose I shall have to consider DAI a slightly belated birthday gift to myself instead of an early birthday gift.

 

I assume the strategy guide will be pushed back to Nov. 18 as well? I still kind of hope it is released on Oct. 7, as I don't mind spoilers in the least, but I doubt it will happen.

[PsychoBlonde]

I'm ok with this, more time to make a quality game. Besides Oct. 7 just seemed like an odd time. (despite it being perfect for my birthday <.<;; ) \

Me too!  We should start a club.  The "Bioware Ruined My Birthday" Club.

Maybe we can get free cake.  Mine has to be gluten-free and sugar-free.  I'm not sure that would really qualify as a "cake" but I'd like to see them try.

I really fail to see the issue here. Someone pre-ordered the game expecting a release in October but the game was delayed to November. The person who pre-ordered the game could have already paid in full and a game coming out later doesn't change the financial situation. All that changes is that you get a game later. And that is why I do agree it is rather silly to feel insulted, as someone in here claimed for the game now coming out in November and then stating it was a waste of that money. If that particular person doesn't have time to play in November they can more than likely just get their money back. If the person already felt 50 bucks was a lot of money, nothing has changed.

Some people like me (especially students) are literally saving money to buy video games. Not everyone has a well paying job, not everyone even has a job. Which means people plan how to spend money in advance. They have to. Meaning that any big shift in plans leads to a crash of schedule.
You planned to spend 50 dollars on a video game in October? Well, I guess you have to wait till next month... Unless of course some unexpected expenses happen... Like they always do.
Good side? 50 more dollars to spend on medicine or clothes or give to another relative which borrows but never returns debts. Bad? Try saving again for the next month in less than 30 days while in the middle of a semester.
Eh, I guess I just have to skip ORAS... It's either a remake I've been waiting for literally years or a game I really hoped to play
Or taking another part-time job and getting your numerous cousins call you "a greedy ******"
But sure, folk like me are overreacting, what do we know...

[TheTurtle]

I wonder how much this affects marketing like is October just going to be a month of absolutely no new news now or are they gonna spread things out even more.

My birthday is October 20th, as I'm sure you were frantic to know. October people are the coolest people, I say!

[PsychoBlonde]

* opens mailbox *  "What's this?  It looks like a lump of crab meat.  Oh.  It's a crab cake."

 

Well, that could be gluten-free and sugar-free.  But I'm not sure I could fit 34 candles in a crab cake.

 

* cough * especially since I turn 35 this year.  I keep trying to forget that fact.

[Flowingchesthair]

Oh, damn.

 

I like that it's getting more time to be polished, but... Since I'm having a long visit to a family member from October 31st to February 1st, with no way to play DA:I, I am quite devastated. I had counted on the release date to be on the 7th so I would at least have had 24 days to play a little bit. I won't be able to play until January, at all.

 

I'm going to go cry now. Unless someone wants to comfort me with hugs... Please?

Is there a reason you can't take the money you planned on using from October and set it aside, therefore, keeping your original money timeline?

[Chari]

I am civil to those that earn it. Being hostile to the devs because they did not share inside knowledge of the game (before they might have even known about this months ago in his original thread) I will not be civil towards.

Shrug me off if you want but many need to learn the world does not revolve around themselves and this delay was not done to harm any of us.

Maybe you should start doing it first and accept that people have a right to act bitter and hurt?

You still sound like a jerk and I still try to find a justified reason for it

[Alexius]

Oh, boy. Now this makes me sad.

I understand, though... But it's the worst way to end a rainy, shitty day at work.

 

Here's hoping it's all the better for it.

Just take any screenshot and put a big ol' "WE'RE STILL WORKING!!!" caption on it.  Boom.  You have the latest news.

[MisterJB]

How would this affect physical pre-orders?

[Inquisitor Julianos]

Eh, my steam got out of my sails around the time this thread(corrected) got filled with silly comments ( my bad)

I dont do hugs, but i do give cookies and hot cocoa

They just push the date back, so it really doesn't affect them at all.

[Bryan Johnson]

You dont get it until November 18th, there should be no change otherwise

[CronoDragoon]

Have you tried lying to your relatives, makes things much easier.

I don't see the problem with having the spare money for a month though, if you need it for essential expenses all the better. I'd rather have medicine and or food for instance than a video game quite frankly.

*BADGER* DONT.TEMPT.THE.MAKER!!!!

[Magdalena11]

Aw, come on.  The game is going to be full of mistakes and glitches and most of us are going to be tearing our hair out by the roots in December.  It's not anyone's fault, that's just the way those things work.  If I can play in tactical mode and cast a spell without having to reboot the game, I'll count it as an improvement and move on.  If something miraculous happens and the glitch fairy is on vacation when the game comes out I won't complain.  I'm not really a masochist even if I play one.  I'm just going to keep my expectations pretty low to avoid disappointment.

[Bayonet Hipshot]

Not surprising, considering almost ALL next gen games are being delayed.

Medicine and food is for sissies. I'd much rather live on the edge and buy the video game.
