@noffham dude that is messed up...in fact if you didn't see it it's illegal, they should have given you your money back. Though i have to admit I am surprised you didn't download the books immediately. But then if it's $2-300 dollars of stuff am I correct to assume you had a slow computer and didn't finish downloading it in time? Oh well at this point my advice is illegal torrent.... that'll show em.

@Limejello10512 The "deadline" was about 12 hours notice. The sore point is that even though you paid for the pdf, you are no longer allowed to download it. If you failed to notice the deadline you were screwed. WOTC got your money and too bad if you didn't make a backup (which you arguably never needed before). DTRPG at least got WOTC to allow a 24 hour download window a few days later but that's it.

@rc7771 Hm well if the deadline was announced beforehand that might make a better piece in their defense. However normally I'd say if they purchased a product and never got to download it they should get a refund.

@Limejello10512 As far as I know, anyone who had a WotC item in their shopping cart when WotC's deadline on selling PDF's came lost the item out of their cart. I never bought WotC PDF's because I always bought the books, but I did hear people say that they had bought the PDF right before the deadline and could not download it after. I seem to remember Drive Through warning buyers to make sure they download right away if they bought a WotC product near the deadline.

[Limejello10512]

@rc7771 Okay that's what I thought.... So if there wasn't actually any money spent on these products what could they possibly they have to refund? Or are you saying you couldn't download it after purchasing it?

[rc7771]

@Limejello10512 WotC stopped letting anyone sell PDF's of their books some time ago, in an effort to stop piracy of their material. This meant that Drive Through RPG had to remove all WotC products from their website, as did any other online PDF sales company. If you had a WotC product in your shopping cart on the site, it went away. However, if you had bought a WotC PDF before the mandate came down, there's no way it can be removed from your PC remotely.

[Limejello10512]

@mt51784 Wait I've never bought any Wotc products through dt rpg (I always assumed that the publishers were marketing through dt). Are you saying that Wotc banned dt from publishing their pdfs, somehow deleted said pdfs from your computer (didn't even think that was possible) and that dt didn't refund your money?

BTW I thought mt's post was fine I don't know what azirk is talking about.

Where do you guys go to play these games?

[mt51784]

But, am not concerned that if I make any purchases in the future that I might end up with the same results.
