Looks like Driveclub PS+ Edition might not be coming today

I'm on the phone currently with PlayStation. They've put me on hold, but I am pretty determined to get my pissy attitude heard, even if the person on the other line rolls their eyes and neglects everything I say.

I'm going to rant about how I've been a Plus member since day one and that Sony themselves stated all the games would be available the first Tuesday of every month-- anyone else have anything else for me to complain about (if it's at least faintly rational)?
Write a letter to your congressman.
 
Sucks that a really good game from a good developer that has been quite vocal and open to suggestions; is caught in all this. Then the drive-by trolls that use this as "console wars".

Hopefully, this will be solved sooner than later so that either people try the game and move on to the full game, another game ...or just have it in their download lists.
 
That is the wrong way. How would a complain be not legimate is the answer you have to give first.

I suppose I'm more talking about having a right to get your money back, etc. Even then, Sony would have to pull the PS+ version entirely (or delay for months, whatever).

Assuming a day or two delay, it's all crying, not a license to ask for Sony's head.

I get it has been anticipated, I'm in the waiting boat as well...but c'mon now. Is there a precedent Sony has set to justify the complaints? Do they do this kind of stuff all the time?
 
Yeah, he's the one with the problem. Right.

Cancel your subscription if you aren't satisfied with the service. Don't call and tear into some random schmuck who has zero control over what is uploaded to PSN.
When did I call support and rage at them? I've just been commenting here while waiting. Watch your ignorant and baseless accusations pal.
 
It was the reason I bought it yes, not the sole reason..but the reason that pushed me over the edge.

Then you have SOME right to be pissed (you said its not the sole reason).

Everyone else that isn't in your situation does not. People just love to light the torches and grab pitchforks for anything these days.

Edit: This is my opinion, not being a dictator here people, just having an opinion. Didn't realize I would get attacked over it.
 
That would literally be the only scenario where someone could have a valid complaint here. How many people do you think fall in this category?
I used a 14 day trial just for DRIVECLUB and I'm pissed. 1 day wasted on nothing. If I can't download DRIVECLUB by midnight I'm contacting the Better Business Bureau, Gamestop Headquarters and my Congressman. This is ludacris.
 
It will unless you upgrade it to the full version. At that point, it will remain on your acct forever whether you have PS+ or not

Not the free version, obviously. It's like every "free" PS+ game. But if you upgrade it to the full version, that's yours to keep even if you stop subscribing.

I see.

Well I think the timed nature of the access makes it worthy of criticism to have the PS+ free edition unlock late.

It's also sort of insult to injury; Sony marketed to a ton of people for 3 months that this would be out 11 months ago.

However on the other hand those people that partly bought maybe a year of PS+ thinking they'd be playing a free version of DC most of that year hopefully and probably ended up with a great value; no reason to be dramatic as this is still a dirt cheap and very generous service.
EDIT: Saw you edited your post to say demo. Well, this is more than an ordinary demo. You get 1 full location (11 tracks), 10 cars, and all the features of the game. You can even get all the trophies with just the PS+ version. Feature-wise it's the full game, just with less content.

Free is a better word to add

I'm aware of what the PS+ edition is; basically a really good free 2 play version, and don't hang me for saying that as the devs themselves used the F2P term ;)

You might want to hold off on anointing yourself as the person who has the right to tell which people can and can't be upset about this.
 
The problem is as simple as being irked because the game hasn't arrive by what time was expected. That is all. There is nothing else to say. It's annoying.
 
"It is just a game" is a pretty useless contribution on a gaming forum, on the gaming side, in a thread about a game.

Wouldn't call it useless, its my opinion, which I am allowed to share.

Pardon my phrasing, It should be known that that is my opinion and I mean in no way to force it upon people.

So Sony had to do this before, so that the complaints are justified? Heh?

This is hilarious. Are you going to start busting out percentages of how much people are allowed to be pissed soon?

"Oh, you subscribed to PS+ for 5 reasons and this was only one of them, so you have a 20% right to be pissed!"

ability to change name.... ;)
 
I'm actually tempted to just buy it right now. Fuck I was really counting on the PS+ version to make a judgement call on it.

I don't trust reviews so the only way for me to judge a game is to either trust GAF or play it myself beforehand.

Okay this made me chuckle.

I'm happy I have ME:SoM to keep my occupied. But I can't blame y'all. I was looking forward to playing this after work, too.

That's exactly why they made you wait
 
People defending Sony over this are ridiculous.

It's 10pm on the east coast now - that's not "today" for most people on a week day (particularly counting download time) because, surprise, surprise - most of us work (well, those of us that don't work on the PSN Store in NA work anyway).

The fact of the matter is that the PSN store in NA has been run by a bunch of buffoons for years and for some reason SCEA doesn't care and SCE as a whole doesn't seem to want to do anything about it by making examples out of any of the idiots that are apparently in charge of it.

It's hurting their brand and it's hurting the software that's affected by the incompetence of the people that they have running the operation.

Between the incompetence on the store and the incompetence in the PS4 firmware development team and the fairly lousy WWS output thus far we can only hope MS pulls out some NPD wins through the holidays so that maybe Sony will start giving a shit about actually doing right by their customers.
 
I'm not sweating this too much, but it is annoying. It was supposed to be a launch game with "most of the content" from the full version. We're getting it almost a year later with a lot less content than we were initially lead to believe. It'd be nice if we could at least get it on the day we expected.

Just wait. Last thing you want to do is spend $50 on something you're not totally sold on.

Damn. Pulling the trigger? Just wait breh. What's a few more hours? Unless you got money to blow.
 
Why do people seem to have a problem with other people being upset about this?

lmao

I agree. Contacting the BBB and your local Congressperson is ludicrous.

Did they originally promise more than what we're getting? Honest question, I never really followed the game's development.
 
I was hoping that at 10pm the servers would go live and the PS Plus edition would go up. Alas I still sit here in soloclub :(

Can people buy somewhere the right to complain? Is it a club only thing, do I have to subscribe somewhere?

yeup. sony has been awful with this for years and really hasn't shown any signs of getting better at it. people defend shit like this, but annoyances like this can drive customers away. same thing with the OS updates. they need to press with this shit like MS is

Agreed.

You gotta stand up for yourself and get back what you deserve. Don't just drink the potion that Sony's trying to give everyone. Your congressman should probably listen to you if he's going for that number one spot.

Rollout.

It's 7PM over there though. The original estimate was by 6PM PST, which already went by an hour. Still, there's some hope I guess.
