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.

Verizon didn't stop rolling out FIOS because there was no demand. They stopped rolling out FIOS because they'd done their most dense markets, and didn't really care about the less dense ones. There's plenty of people who'd LOVE to get FIOS, and Verizon doesn't care to roll it out to their neighborhood.
It's not that Verizon doesn't care, it's that to make any money they need to have X population density to justify it. It is quite simply a metric shitload of money to deploy fiber and its also an endless source of problems with permits, labor, construction and so on. Verizon knows people love FiOS, I have a few buddies who work there who say the company is all about getting it to as many homes as possible because they know its a home run. They are maxed out though, they dumped billions into deployments just to get where they are and shareholders were getting antsy. Unfortunately the government isn't handing out subsidies to deploy fiber in most areas and if they are they are handing out the contracts to local companies.
I think the local municipalities will get there long before the government or corporations do, assuming they don't get sued by the telco/cableco like a few have already. |
