Where did you read that I was mentioned steamboat refund procedure?
Might have misunderstood your post, but basically what I mean is that given the refund procedure it doesn't matter what 50% of people want (by chip count) or what they agree regarding what chips are worth. Bottom line is there will be a split batch where some people want a refund and some do not, and that batch will be delivered, even if there are 8,000 outstanding refund requests. Because there will be no forced refunding for the 2,000.
Yeah, a split batch is pretty much a certainty. It would be nice to see Steamboat address this issue ASAP i.e. Sooner than 8 days.
As for SB last updates where he says "We have requested and received refunds for Batches 5 and 6". I feel kinda stupid. I was foolishly waiting for part 2 of his update which he said would be issued "shortly". I'm pretty pissed at this point to see that he WAS IN FACT processing refunds. I realize he sent out the refund request form, but I was under the impression that we would see "part two" of the update BEFORE he started processing refunds.
It would have been REALLY nice to see some posts like "Hey guys, batch 6 refund requested, Hey guys, batch 5 refunds requested". Basically I waited for nothing.
This piss poor situation was made orders of magnitude worse by terrible communication. IMO, SB reputation is seriously harmed by one thing, and one thing only: A failure to communicate. I'm trying hard to accept his "apology", but I'm finding it pretty fucking hard to swallow that we JUST NOW hear refunds were already requested.
