Today - received an email from Matrix/Slitherine Rewards informing me it's my 12 year anniversary and giving me a coupon code for 40% off!

AAAARGH!!!!

Status: offline 		Here's an update for everyone......

I got an emphatic 'no' from Slitherine/Matrix.

I was thinking back and realised I have been a customer of theirs for something like 20 years.....my early purchases were of physical discs in the days before online accounts became 'a thing'.

To say I'm disappointed is somewhat of an understatement.

We all work hard for our money and this is....well, demoralising on top of everything else we're all dealing with at the moment.

And to be honest it's not even about the money, it's the principle here.

Well, loyalty is a two way street.

I shall certainly not be in a rush to spend a single cent further with this company or any of its sub-brands.

At the end of the day there are other games companies and indie developers out there who I feel would be more deserving of my support and have at least a basic grasp of what the words 'customer' and 'service' actually mean.

Signing off.

Status: offline 		I have to disagree. When I suggested an email, I said they probably would not give you a break. I'm not surprised, and I don't think you should be surprised either. You do have a 40% off coupon if you want something else. As some of use said, Shadow Empire is great. I've had things like that happen before with other games, where I bought one and then it went on sale, or I got some kind of coupon. And not just with games. With other things, too. It is just the way business works.

Status: offline 		With all due respect, your home page tells you when your anniversary is, so you know when you will be getting your coupon. You can check and plan your purchases based on that. It is a bit unfair to expect Matrix to take back a legitimate sale so they can sell it to you at a 40% discount. IMHO, you should buy another game(s) and be happy you are supporting a great company and game designers. Why be angry at Matrix for offering you 40% off?
