Because this shit has been pretty black and white in every industry but this one for a very very long time. No, you are not responsible for a retailer selling you a product that does not function correctly. No, it doesn't matter if that product being non-functional is widely known. If that product doesn't function on such a wide scale as for it to be thought of as common knowledge then, in any other fucking industry, the retailer would be expected to issue refunds and STOP SELLING THE PRODUCT. At which point the manufacturer would be expected to issue a recall.
But nah. Some of y'all gotta make sure you come in and defend Bethesda's honor.
The bolded is just stupid. Point where in my post that I "defend Bethesda's honor."
Yes, Bethesda should be held responsible for creating a sub-par product, but you as a customer should also be
diligent and smart about your purchase decision. If people all over the place and your prior experience with the product provider already provided you with ample example as to why you should not be buying the product if you value quality, but
you buy it anyway, that is just goddamn
stupidity on your part. You should held some responsibility of your own actions if you decide to just blaze through despite all the warning bells and sirens blaring all over the place.
The
smart thing for a consumer to do is to
inform yourself of product/services that you want to waste your money on before committing. It's why sites like TripAdvisor exist. It's why stuff like Rotten Tomatoes exist. It's why Amazon consumer reviews exist.
I honestly can't believe that advocating that
people should be smarter and wiser about how they spend their money is being equated to defending a company's honor, whatever the heck that is.
Be smart and responsible with your money, be diligent about any product and services that you are buying.
