You say you've dealt with me "fairly" and haven't "laughed at me". Why don't you very carefully consider what I've written above and tell me if you should be laughing at me
I'll answer that for him. YES!
Second...you're chiding him about business? after that discombombulated bunch of nonsense....look...everything you say or do in this thread is in defense of Nvidia:roll:;
When you were pushed, and after the evidence in this thread was insurmountable, you finally admitted that Nvidia have not delivered what they promised.:brokenheart: Moreover, you admitted after having dodged it three times, that we as customers do have a right to expect what was promised to us. So which is more reasonable course of action, to try and get some sort of accountability from the company like Lonewolf and a bunch of us have done? Or to unconditionally support said company, when you yourself have admitted they didn't deliver? And to attack anyone who has the audacity to demand they get what they were sold when they bought the product? I think most people would say, yours is the inconsistent unreasonable position here Rollo.
As for your business knowledge, spare us any more Rollo theorems. Take this ludicrous bit of logic:
Have you taken any elementary level business courses at a college LoneWolf? Do you understand that a corporation only has one mission- to make money for it's stockholders? What if there WAS an error in the advertising at nVidia? It would be sort of contradictory to the one goal to start handing out money to thousands of people, don't you think? If you were nVidia, wouldn't you do whatever you could to avoid losing your stockholders and employees money? To you, this issue is a piddly $300 video card, a weeks wages at McDonalds. To nVidia, this issue is millions of dollars. Gee, why the heck don't they just give us all free fixed cards?!!?
The naivete' of many of you boggles my mind. If you're a kid, you're entitled. If you're a man who went to college this whole situation should seem pretty logical to you, no matter what is going on. (PVP broken, PVP needs software, whatever)
The fact that businesses are in business to make money is a given. Only a simpleton would bother mentioning it. Apparently those elementary business classes didn't touch on the whole issue of customer satisfaction, and customer relations.Gee, maybe the advanced issue of customer satisfaction, and the reputation of the company name are handled in those advanced level courses...maybe grad school stuff:laugh:
Anyways, If there is a product flaw, or a nonworking feature of any product, reputable companies make amends. Whether that be a recall, or repair, or refund, they take action to get the situation fixed. This would rarely involve handing out money as you say.....everyone knows this, nobody is expecting this...But reputable companies have recalls, or repair said products at their own expense, and if they can't repair it, they replace the product at their own expense. Why would so many company's do such a crazy thing Rollo?????? You so profoundly said they were in the business of making money...Why in the world would companies do such things? Are you denying such things occur? OF course not, not unless you care to insult the intelligence of everyone in this thread. So, if companies do consistently make amends...make repairs, replace product, replace or fix the non-working features....I GUESS THESE COMPANIES NEVER TOOK THE SAME BUSINESS COURSES AS THE MIGHTY ROLLO, WITH HIS TOWERING INTELLECT. That said, if a company refused to admit a product flaw, or did everything to coverup such flaws, then said company would be unethical in that respect, and that company's good name would be sullied as a result. Now, it is true, that a company may weight the negative impact on its reputation, and how that would affect its bottom line, in relation to how much the recall would cost ect... no doubt, that is all taken into account, and a company may make its decision based on that. However, it is a fact that the companys that are reputable, and would do the right thing everytime, and are willing to sacrifice their bottom line in certain situations, are the ones that customers keep coming back to. That is why companies invest so much in customer satisfaction programs and reputation. It is even why, in certain circumstances that companies even give money back....yes Rollo, they might even give money back. That might be a little above your head though....and I don't want you to think I lack business knowledge....so don't hold me to that one. Now, it is also a fact, that The ones who screw people over, if there is any competition to speak of, well these companies are not around very long. So for you, Rollo, to hold LoneWolf and others in this thread to account, and call him Naive for expecting Nvidia to deliver on an undelivered promise.....and to make whats broken right.... well for you to call him naive and absurd, that is just despicable, and it shows how simple-minded you are more than anything. And not suprisingly, it is just the sort of ignorance and simple-mindedness we have consistently been getting from you Rollo....
BTW, why is it you keep bringing up college education over and over in this thread? You know, I'd bet virtually everyone of us have college degrees, if not advanced degrees. I have found however, that the people who don't, are just the sort that manage to bring it up in every instance....because they are naturally insecure about it. Same thing with the laughably pitiful IQ thing you'd brought up earlier. I'd venture a guess, that based on your comments about college this college that....you never finished. LOL...virtually everyone in this thread probably has a degree, yet for some reason they don't intentionally work it into every thread.:disgust: The people who manage to talk about their education 10 times over, in a graphics card thread, well, maybe you have to wonder about.
also, this is pretty freakin funny as well:
What if there WAS an error in the advertising at nVidia?
Is this your new defense strategy now?..lol...you certainly have moved in a new direction then.. I see, so it wasn't a hardware mistake, rather they misprinted the advertising campaign or something...lol. I bet Nvidia couldn't even come up with that one.
