Ok so I got a gripe.

Let me start by explaining about myself. I am a bit of a computer geek and I love to play computer games. I'm not normally a one game guy. I usually play a game to death for a month and then I'm bored and move on to my next one, which I play religiously for a month and so on.

Now I got SH3 about 8 months ago and did my usual month/bored thing and moved on. However, with the christmas lull in new releases I had nothing new to play so I dusted off my SH3 disc and checked the forum for patches/Mods. Enter GWX.

Now I've done about 8 weeks, doubling my normal 'attention span', but yesterday after a seriously crappy patrol (29 days, 3 small merchants sunk, U-Boat sunk by DD) I decided to move on. Now this decision was motivated by the fact that I have the shiny CE of SHIV pre ordered, so a month on a new game and then SHIV fits in with my monthly attention span.

Anyway, went out today and got myself a copy of Supreme Commander, a superb looking game that has consistently scored 85 - 90% in the major PC review press. Got in from work and installed and off I go, but....

...God Im bored!

Managed about 2 hours of play and got fed up so decided to go back to the U-Boat. Started a new career and found a juicy Revenge Battleship babysitting a convoy. So now I have 48,000 tonnes of shipping for 5 torps and IT'S ALL YOUR FAULT!

So seeing as that the store wont refund my money on software and it looks like I'll be addicted to GWX for the foreseeable future I'm hoping that the GWX team can see their way to refunding the money I laid out for the game that they've made me not want to play.
