Failed again

Posted 3rd Aug 11, by HorrendousGames

This time it was because of a member who has a grudge against me because he didn't like how I defended my design choice. He posted a bunch of crap that any game will fail for, which includes ripping the Memory Unit out repeatedly. And some other douchebag decided it's be fun to just fail my game and not even post a response, so it's apparent that he had read my response and simply just failed the game without even playing it.

I'm in a bad place right now, and I don't think I can take much of anything anymore.

so guys can just fail games out of spite or just to be a jerk?

Pretty much. Microsoft doesn't actually enforce any of the rules it states, it's the community that is supposed to enforce them. Some just take everything WAY too literally. There is a rule that "if the game crashes anywhere" it is an instant fail, which is supposed to prevent the game from crashing due to an error in game, NOT to protect from a blatant user error.

Keep trying, and try not to get down

I'm sure that you could report these people. If it helps, I can always give it constructive criticism (being an App Hub member)

That would be great Chris!

Unfortunately, they are still acting within the rules, so the Mods won't do anything, especially since I'm also a new member (which apparently means I know nothing). In fact, I've got one moderator that says I'm harassing other people...? It's really starting to aggravate me. It's one thing feel like you're wrong, but to have everyone screaming that at you while no one has the guts to be in your corner is something else.

If you happen to have an Xbox too and a Memory unit, I could really use your help in playtesting this, if you've got a few moments to do so.

I don't have a memory unit, but do have an Xbox

I'll see what I can do

Thank you so much for the playtest, it really meant a lot. Sorry you weren't able to see if the MU still made it crash, but still was refreshing to see someone give their criticism without being a dick.
