Game Development: A Far Green Country

I thought about complaints in paypal.

Which for the ones doing that could be treading on thin ice.

I'm in the gray on PayPal; all the info I've seen points to they allow possible refunds. How would the person be on thin ice? As in through Sea Tribe or through PayPal?

The customer would open himself up to criminal prosecution, because it would borderline fraud. IMHO.

If your seller doesn’t agree to refund your money, you may be able to open a dispute in the Resolution Center. You can open a dispute if you didn’t receive your item or you received something that doesn’t match the seller’s description.

I don't know how you could argue that you didn't receive what was advertised.

Additionally:

13.3 Ineligible Items. PayPal Purchase Protection only applies to PayPal payments for certain tangible, physical goods. Payments for the following are not eligible for reimbursement under PayPal Purchase Protection:

Intangible items, including Digital Goods
Services
...
Items equivalent to cash, including prepaid or gift cards
...

Yeah that is pretty damning evidence given the product. I'd imagine it would be hard to get a refund; even despite the insane idea brought up in another thread where they said PayPal might consider the customer using the muh feelings card; with the active amount of colorful people in our community.

No real way to get a refund then; unless they shut down the servers forever in an hour I suppose.

Isn't it illegal to use sounds out of other Games ? Im looking at the "new item found" sound which reminds me a lot of the Zelda Series, i would assume if Nintendo would know this, the two developers would be in a problematic situation (if the sound is ripped!).

It's there as a tribute, and is no big deal to us if anyone is upset, in which case we'd happily change it. The ants use the hydralisk spit sound from Starcraft 1.

No fucking wonder I recognize it.

I use this when I need to use filler sounds until I get my own done.

What is the "Discovery" sound from? I thought I recognized that one too first time I played HnH

Why is it an issue to begin with?

This is like easter eggs in other games; they are there for a reason.

hah i knew it sounded familiar, i didnt know where it came from!

But im not quite sure how Blizzard and Nintendo react to that, i wish you best of luck they dont sue you to the ground.

Again, we'd happily change them if they really don't want us to use them. It's there because we like both Zelda and Starcraft respectively.

And i can see the influences taken from both.
