Lost HP on Accidental Hero Pack Purchase (PC)

Unknown

I accidentally pressed Spacebar when in Recruit Heroes - Oscorp Assault Team window.

What happened? Obviously no confirmation window if I want to buy anything.

Obviously I didn't get 1 hero for 200HP. I got 10 for 4000HP.

****.

This is **** ****.

I am sorry but this is unethical and outright deceitful. This should not be allowed to happen.

You can't blame the developers entirely.

People have gotten refunds before. Did you try contacting cs?

True. But should be a confirmation pop up...imo anyway, only because i have accidentally clicked on things before as well lol

Moral

They should just have a pop up ad before every match, kind of like what's the phrase.

nah, why should I bother?

They ostensibly show us where they have us, which is deep in their ****.

If you purchased said hero points, it'd be more than $20. It's worth a polite email stating the accident and that you desire to have the HP back. About as much effort to post here.

I remember reading that early on, the controller for UAVs have the 'self destruct' button next to the 'fire missile' button and there's no confirmation box on whether you want to self destruct too, and hitting that button instead of 'fire missile' can cost you a few million dollars.

It's obviously a bad design to not have a confirmation box for money purchases, but it's hardly the only game that does that. This sounds like a reasonable case to ask for a refund. If they don't refund, then feel free to complain about it.

Wow you really don't get how it is unethical to not ask for confirmation when people are buying something in a game? An accidental click and your currency is gone and it is the users fault really? This is bound to happen and they very well know that.

I agree ask for a refund but don't hold your breath. Doesn't change the fact they are looking for you to accidentally press it.

I think a whole mess of games do that already, and it might be just out of sheer laziness. Or, it's more like 'hey we don't have to do more work and make more money, what can possibly go wrong?'

Just another example of their greediness. Thank You.

Because you want your HP back? Unless you really don't because secretly you got some good cards and are complaining just to complain.

Unknown

The real question is, did you get something good?

This happened to me before too but only for 200 HP. I actually do think they hope for this mistake as to increase the HP usage which would make ppl spend money. I sent a request in and didnt even get a reply. Garbage.

This is the first one I have seen and I have played a ton of games maybe this is a new tactic for phone games. Regardless it is unethical. The coding is easy as hell so there is no excuse for it.

Literally every game can be accused of doing this. In WoW there was a vendor that sells you junk for insane prices, and while he's probably meant to be a joke, he doesn't give refunds either if you really bought the overpriced junk he's selling. You can easily argue with the wide secondary RMT that this costs you real money to buy the junk.

Back in EQ1, the fastest horses probably cost around $100 at the going rate for in game currency and it's no secret that people are buying them up on the RMT market. There's no confirmation box and there's no refund, so what if you bought the wrong one? Then you're missing a lot of currency and I know a lot of people did. They eventually did put the ability to refund, and I'm pretty sure they weren't trying to see what sucker was going to accidentally click on the wrong horse and spent his in game life savings, but that they either didn't think about the issue or was too lazy to put a confirmation box and/or a way to refund your purchase.

the worst part is that you probably paid for 10 heroes you already have. 4000 wasted.

Nice paintjob man. I paint as well but not as much as I used to. I bought the reaper vampire deal so slowly getting back into it.
