Steam vs App Store...

[Dirtyharry50]

Well, i tried the app store, and paid bloody $20-something for a game i already goddamn OWN (Sim City 4, bought from store years ago for older Mac), and it was quick, painless and easy...

UNTIL I TRIED TO PLAY IT.

Stupid thing has a glitch in it that zooms the city in and out randomly, and at the worst possible times. Its pretty much unplayable. Haven't had time to bitch about it to anyone yet, not that i expect much recourse. This is EXACTLY why i dont like this stupid method of buying games. I'm pissed.

Anyways, HOPEFULLY i/we can figure that one out so i can at least play the damn thing, but i wont have the expendable income to pick up Steam or anything from it for a while. I still have iTunes money, but right now i'm turned right off spending it at the App Store.


And another reason i dont like the App Store, is that Steam has the same games, plus more versions, and they also have the expanded versions. App Store does not. Yet, they charge the same. Not cool. I want the 'complete' versions, if i can get them.

Grrrrr...

There's a link to Aspyr support on the App Store page where you bought that. If you have not already, I'd recommend contacting them and maybe they can help you resolve the problem. If you are unable to resolve the problem with Aspyr support and retain the relevant emails as proof, I think you may be able to get a refund from Apple on something that should but does not work on your Mac but I would also recommend not delaying in addressing this to improve your chances of that not being a problem due to passage of time.
