@ tsrblke2. Re “Cloudy, with a chance of GameTap” thread.

Alright, fine. You caught me. I was complaining, whining even. The thin guise of feedback was weak at best and the thread was destined for a train wreak ending. You were right to close the thread. There, I said it.

However, I am unclear on what you meant by “Forcast: Move to generic complain thread.” Are you suggesting that I take my complaint elsewhere, here for example? Or were you saying you're killing the thread because it will just illicit more complaints? Honest question, was confused, that’s all. Oh, and you miss-spelled forecast.

I was merely parroting your closing statement with horribly failed comedic intent.
Allow me to translate:
"I'm locking this in favor of the already long complain thread" We started a policy to keep them all in one place

Fair enough and thanks for taking the time to respond. Also, I put my actual suggestions into a new thread, bereft of the complaints.

I loved the old player. I was a subscriber for two years. I loved the feel of the client. I loved the games. I loved how it made me feel like part of a community of gamers that genuinely seemed to get why old games mattered to people. The new site reflects none of that. I was going to pay for a new year subscription, but not anymore. You just lost my 80 dollars. I will torrent my old games now. :{

How exactly did the old player make you feel that you were a part of "a community of gamers that genuinely seemed to get why old games mattered to people"?

P.S. downloading games via torrents is illegal.

Rather then come off as "complaining", I'd just like to have my name added to the "list" of people who wouldn't mind seeing the old player.

I know we've been told it won't be coming back. But some of us can hope that our "voices" will make a difference. It's happened before.

OK, so I've skimmed through this thread, and I want to add my two pennies to the huge jar of complaints. I don't really need a response, I just want the people who now run Gametap to know how I feel, even though I doubt they even pay attention to this thread anymore.

I don't like how Gametap runs anymore. I've used Gametap for a long time under a different account, and it was possibly god's gift to man-kind. It was a quick, easy, cheap, and reliable way to play awesome games, many of which are hard to get a hold of now.

I am no longer a fan of Gametap. Since they got rid of the player, and made it completely web browser based, I have had nothing but trouble. Half the games I want to download don't work, and the customer service can't help me make them work. This is a bad system. I know its possible to have a good system, mainly because Gametap used to be a good system.

I know complaining about it won't do much. But I'm an unhappy costumer, and most businesses like to address customer's problems. Bring back the player, or at least make it an option. I don't like your website, it doesn't work for 75% of the people I know.

Have a good day sir!

yeah what he said give us back the old PLAYER!` ESE!`@ GIVE IT BACK NOW.
