So the other day I was talking to a man who also has a Steam account. He told me that I could have avoided my return of MKX for PC had I purchased the game as a gift for myself. Apparently, if you outright buy a game on Steam, they don’t issue refunds. But if you buy it as a gift for yourself, they do. What a shitty customer service policy. This whole drama hasn’t even played out, but already I’m sure that I won’t ever be doing business with Steam ever again.

I saw another interview with Ed Boon on twitch.tv. In this interview, *everyone* in the chat channel was spamming #fixpc. Finally, we got to the point in the show where he addressed some issues on Twitter. No mention of how broken the PC version is.

That really made me angry. So I went home and did what any reasonable person would do. I called up my credit card to dispute the charge. In the mean time, I’m playing on PS4. I’m still using Jacqui Briggs. Yesterday, I was matched up against a level 65! I didn’t even know the levels went that high. But it’s clear to me that I’m competing against absolute top level opponents.

Make no mistake about it, I don’t really think I belong there. I mean, I’m good and all, but not that good. I’m just milking the full auto variation for everything it’s worth. I also had a few guys get mad enough to tea bag me, and one guy even sent a ton of angry messages after he lost to me, calling me a girl. He was a level fifty something, and I won despite having only a 3% chance.

Then there’s also the issue that, at this point, I’ve paid for the DLC, but of course, on the PC version. So while everyone else is having fun with Jason, I don’t have access to anything. I preordered the game, but I can’t use Goro. I’ve never had such mixed feelings about a game before. On the one hand, I love the game and I love to play it. But on the other hand, these fuckers seduced us into pre ordering a game that wasn’t ready, and now that they have my money, they’re laughing all the way to the bank.

If you also have the PC version and you’re pissed, let them know. Stop payment on your credit card. File a complaint with the Better  Business Bureau, which will be my next step. And let’s keep tweeting and instagraming about this injustice. @maulakai #fixpc

I see the mortalkombat section of reddit blowing up now, from all the complaints about the new patch. People are saying they’ve lost all of their data, and then have to download a second giant patch. It’s crazy.
