WSJ has word that Blizzard will be offering some Diablo III owners in South Korea refunds over complaints about connectivity issues impeding play that prompted the Korean FTC to raid Blizzard's Seoul offices (thanks VG247). Here's word: In a message posted on its website, the company said Diablo III players who are less than Level 40, about two-thirds of the way through the program can apply for a refund from June 25 to July 3.
Blizzard will also accept returns from any players less than Level 20, around a third of the way through the program within 14 days of purchase from now on.
In early June, the company set up more servers in Korea to cope with connectivity issues. To compensate users further, Blizzard said it would offer Diablo III users a 30 day free trial of another hot online game, Star Craft: Wings of Liberty.

If we decided that internet was a national resource and that every single person in the country needed to have state of the art internet, we *could* do it in a generation, easily. It'd just take a lot of effort and a lot of money.
Rock on. I'll count on you to pony up the money necessary, then. Oh, wait... you meant someone else's money!
Every dime to create infrastructure comes out of someone's pocket, either through taxes or charges. You can tax some people to pay for someone else's infrastructure (the reason that this country is so messed up: the don't and won't dos are subsidized by the already have dones) or you can raise the prices to pay for the individual services that people receive.
No one is stopping you from having a dedicated fiber-optic line run from the local teleco directly to your mom's basement. They'd be happy to do it... so long as you are willing to pony up the cash. And there are a lot of people who would rather have cheap cable than fast internet speeds (otherwise the telecos would put the fiber in). But you'd rather take someone else's money and then spend it the way you want. How noble of you...
If you live in the United States you've already been benefiting from publicly funded infrastructure your whole life. If your parents, grandparents, and beyond also lived here then you owe your most likely comfortable life to that infrastructure. This isn't something unique to the United States or even modern life... Humans have been banding together and cooperating since always. Our lives are as great as they are because we benefit from helping each other. Go live in the fucking woods but make sure you don't use any roads to get there if you haven't personally paid for the complete construction of them. And next time you shit keep it out of our pipes... Yeah, you have a fucking septic tank big deal |
