HTC look here

Then again, you could've just rephrased your suggestion without assumptions of lack of commitment. People post things in the heat of emotion - easy out is the very honest "i shouldn't have said that." No one could fault you for that. Quitting is way too much drama for what the situation required. I don't think the problem was the suggestion (as I've heard other suggestions replied to politely), but the assumption that HTC was not trying to give customers a quality product. That assumption was unfair (IMHO), and could have been easily fixed by rephrasing the suggestion in a less confrontational manner (i.e., just cut out the last two or three sentences of your initial post - thats where it went over the top).

Lack of commitment is 100% accurate. Tell me, how much has HTC done for us in the last year. Lets just be hypothetical here. lets say that there are 1500 paying customers (there are probably more than that) at $14.95 a month, thats $22,400 a fricking MONTH!!!! these people are making off of us. Ok now lets take that 22,400 and multiply it by a year= $269,100 WOW!!! And for the $269,000 what have we gotten? A little bug infested POS AH2 that isnt going to be ready for at LEAST another 6 months to a year. Ever heard of the term reinvesting your money? Well to me HTC hasnt reinvested a gawd damn thing. They treat people like a number and thats a fact. If I would have made my suggestion back when they only were making $500 a month or so I bet they would have bent over backwards but now that they are making big $$$ they could give a rip about the customers. Anyone who thinks this is a quality company is an idiot. A quality company is one who strives to please its customers, strives to improve its product. The only thing that has been improved around here is the Map that fester built himself, if it wasnt for Fester we would have the same sim that we had $269,000 ago. Doesnt seem like progress to me, it seems like amoney wave that HTC is going to ride until it crashes on the shore. Well I hope I have started in a small way for that wave to crash, because all I can do to voice my opinion is to cancel my membership. VOTE CAST..............ROCK THE VOTE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

If you've really been here 3+ years then you'd know damn well HTC has strived to please their customers since the beginning.  Sleep it off man, then come back and rethink your posts.

Just one question. Do you have any conception of business expenses?

Fica taxes (yea employees hate them but employers pay the same dollar for dollar for each employee)
corporate taxes
state taxes
insurance (unemployment, compensation, employee health, capital insurance,  etc etc.)
rent
utilities
depreciation
bandwidth
salaries
bonuses
advertising
.
.
.
Go google , search business expenses.

OMFG. Is this guy drunk??

I live in a 5 years old house. I still pay monthly rent about it even if the owner hasnt done anything for it. I still pay even if owner is not goin to make me a new house. And Im satisfied.

Im also very satisfied for AH even if it has some minor bugs and problems. I have had so much fun. I would pay my 14.95 even if there are no AH2.

And what comes to commitment, how can there be several betaversions if no-one works for it...


HTC, keep up the good work and dont care about these jerks...:aok

Hehehe what is this guy on? And what has happaned to piss him off like this? I missed the original post I believe what was it about?

I think everybody knows I don't always agree with the HTC crew (often/alot of time ) BUT they do have the best support I've ever seen. To say something else is just pure lie.

Well we arent paying for a house you moron, we are paying for a service. Even lowlife AOL updates more than 1 time a year.

                   Well Im no business expert, nor do I pretend to be one like you do, but aside from a server, bandwidth, a couple employee's and some advertising, I doubt HTC has much overhead. I would be willing to bet the whole damn thing is run from one of their garages. As for all these employees and benifits you talking about, I wonder how many people actually "work" for HTC. Once the game is up and running there isnt much that goes on except monitoring it for problems. God knows they dont update it and take care of glitches, but that is another post all together. But you go ahead, keep paying your $14.95 and pretend you getting a "good value" and that this game is so perfect. But if you opened your eyes and read any of the hundreds of posts about gripes with this game you would shut ur trap. And for the rest of you, I just threw an idea out to try to improve the game for all of us, and all you did was give negative feedback, and then you go back into the MA and complain complain complain. At least I have hair on my balls and am not afraid to voice my opinion. Oh yea, HTC, 2 more people just told me that they are going to join another sim. so now that $14.95 is growing. Looks like that cash wave your riding is now $44.85 smaller each month. :) How ya like me now Mr Natedog and Lowtech?

Actually if I felt they way you do about this I wouldnt hang out here making a fool of myself ... I'd go straight to the HTC and email or call them .(there not gonna put ya on hold for an hour or anything like that )

As for Cash thing They have earned ever penny and deserve it as far as im concerned .

Btw there are plenty of other "buggy/whiny" games on the intardnet you can go waste your time on besides this one .
( when ya find a non buggy/whiny game let me know and ill go check it out )  

OK Skuzzy Time to use the good ole

Man Im sencing alot of hostility here. We either need a group hug or Im going to get Steve and he'll really fix ya! teehee

Oh yeah that tern you mentiond the customer is always right thing... My family owns 2 bissnesseseses... The customer is right MOST of the time... Until he cops an attitude not unlike the one you have here. At this time he is ussually asked to leave and not come back.

I mean what is it you really want to do? Send the Track stars to one MA, the Alt Monkeys to another, the strat dweebs to yet another, take the furballers and ship them off to another MA?

this is a silly thread. not silly haha but silly like stfu silly, but even more like embarassing silly...


Just wait n' till I find Steve you'll be sorry oh yea, you'll be sorry

We're saddened by this loss.  Now STFU, and stop taking up our bandwidth you idjit!.  HTC was here 3 yrs ago, it will be around longer.  Thank god you won't.

To All HiTech Creations Staff, I know I can contribute to havoc on ch.1 :), but in all sincerity. Keep up the good work.
