How to get the XBOX patch

The company's reputation has already been damaged/destroyed - by them. Some are simply advocating bringing this to the attention of a much wider audience.

I agree that the biggest disappointment, aside from not having the patch itself, is the disregard this company has shown for the xbox community. Rather quickly, we were in the dark on what was happening with any possible xbox patch. If they had a little respect for us, they'd at least have the gonads to flat out say, "Sorry guys, no patch coming. It's not a good move for us." Some people would be pissed to hear that anyway and vow never to try this company again. But at least they would have given a shit enough to tell us something. Not saying a word on the patch and closing off all the communication tells that they only see us as dollar signs. We're a source of income for them and nothing else. Customer service? What's that?

So, I am completely ok giving them the big F--k You! They've done as much to us.

This would be a good thing for GameInformer to include in the "Good, Bad, The Ugly".

Especially when they could pull up multiple quotes promising things that never happened, and a total cease in communication. Very ugly.

Heres a random idea that could work... (for uk players)

Send that thing on the xbox dashboard a message ("sent you a message" with them two clowns) they follow up any questions that they make public.

Send them a message saying we have a loyal fan base that growns steadily weekly, because the ps3 got the patch etc etc and that we havnt got it, yet never heard from 505 and why we didnt get it because they blank us.

Or...

just write them some random crap and see if they do anything.


Just an idea.

I have contacted 505 games in the USA and UK, no response.

I suggest us Xbox 360 owners invade the yuplay forums for Wings of Prey and demand we get our patch for it.

Let other people know that the developers will not support the game, will not reply to posts here, so what chance has the pc version got with the promises of title updates, fixes and new DLC.

The developers aren't the problem, it's the publisher 505 Games.

Yep, this is the truth - invading the PC version is no good (unless it's also published by 505).

The trick is going to be keeping it professional...We need clean language and a defined purpose.

...the best way to proceed would be to draft a clear message, defining what we want and why the current state of the game is not acceptable. Making reference to price points and that we have paid for a full game and only received half. Point out the patch debacle and how PS3 got it....

You could also throw in the ridiculous pricing of the DLC in it's first week of release, and then the fact that it doubled in price. This was 505's decision also.

And someone said that this is quite common, so you could also aquire stories of other games they've done it with too. Then, when you have a comprehensive objection laid out, send it to major gaming websites like IGN, Gamespot, Eurogamer etc, and email it to major XBox magazine editors.

All you need is for one to run and the rest (or the majority anyway) will regurgitate it. It needs to be written so it needs little work to turn around and publish though.

Good luck!

Think you have a valid argument there InfiniteStates. What is the relationship between 1C Company (who host this forum) and 505? Could 505 pull the plug on this forum (as well as 'gag' the devs) if they wish to do so?

I have read their corporate info and it appears that 1c are an independent publishing company but I could be wrong.

I may be wrong but it seems obvious to me that you are trying to be smart, and act like you care. You must have a PS3.

Um... the relationship between 1C and 505 is obvious. Just look at, and read the front of the games' case. And this is the 1C company forum, so I doubt 505 could do anything about it.

1C is not blameless here, it was Anton who said certin things were going to happen that never did.

We don't know that the devs aren't supporting the game there is a chance they have all of the dlc's done but it is up to the publisher, don't blame it on the devs without knowing what is true and what is not.
