So better stay away from Steel Beasts dongles

[Con]

I agree that this was the right place to post and discuss this. Now however before this turns into a flame fest is the time to wait and see what Is the outcome of this discussion. Nothing to be gained from either side having proxies chime in. I am interested to learn about the end result. Does this policy remain enforced or is there a learning moment on both sides.
RyanE an update when there is an one would be appreciated.

Well said, Con.  O0

My luggage was lost on a trip back from China

in the luggage was my SB Pro dongle. 

...waiting for the Chinese version of Steel Beasts. Maybe'll we'll get a playable Type 99.

On a serious note, that's a crappy situation. I assume that there's no way to argue with the airline, and I wonder if the Chinese government normally confiscates any data tech leaving the country (DVD's, CD's, thumb drives, etc).

Right, there goes Con, being reasonable and everything again. What am I gonna do with this pitchfork I went and got? 


Also, let me join the Asid Fan Club. He is always extremely friendly and helpful. I suspect sometimes that people hear his helpfulness and positive tone as being somehow a partisan for a company, person, or position. Asid just wants to share the games he loves with as many people as he can. He's a happy Scottish person!

Look, statistically there has to be one somewhere, right?

Don't bet your dongle on it.

The problem is, they're only happy when they're moaning, whilst they're stood outside in the rain so it's hard to tell really

The needless and uncalled for aggression towards Asid has to stop, though. 

I totally agree. Asid is not the problem here.

The problem is the way RyanE has been treated.

He has asked to be treated with a degree of common sense. Crikey, he's offered to pay the replacement cost of the dongle, and is on record as an established customer so I don't get why eSim is playing hardball over this. Do they seriously think he is trying to rip them off, or is it that Ssnake has his nose out of joint because RyanE has made a valid customer service point public? The dual aspect of their business is a red herring in this matter. As a consumer of eSim's commercial product it seems to me to he is getting a raw deal from eSim's customer service.

I'm holding on to my dongle with both hands from here on out. I don't want to have to pay full price for a new one!

[jomni]

Here's a thought.  Can you actually copy the license contents of the dongle to another USB stick as backup?  I doubt this is possible though.

[JudgeDredd]

Hey - I'M still HERE!

I'm f****** happy all the f****** time ya t***s  :bd:

Anyway - you go and live in that climate and see how f****** cheerful you end up     If Washington State was any wetter, it'd still be behind Scotland.
