And couldn’t this issue be taken to court? Since at first they were offering a service and apparently they have abandoned it.
It’s just a proposal

You know I posted that SS because they’re deleting posts, and it was just to make fun of that, not to make a point like the previous poster. Or am I stoned and you’re being serious?
I’m joking, in a sarcastic way, but they’re going to delete it anyway
i know they will, thats why i made ss of my ss of original post xD

Spend your time and money elsewhere.
Im only playing the game enough to keep acess to the forums so i know if this “service” ever reopens.

Reposting this since it is still getting false flagged.

Perhaps not such a bad idea after all. The company headquarters are now in Hungary, my neighboring country and also part of the EU. I’m almost certain they’ve broken some law by doing it without communication for two years. It’s not like we haven’t tried everything in the last two years without any feedback. The only thing they do is delete our posts.

Don’t get me wrong, I’m all for getting the transfers back, but are there actually laws for this stuff?
It’s not like they’re legally obligated to give us stuff and services and we didn’t really pay for this particular service.

I’m not a lawyer, but if the system exists in the game and they paused it because there were too many requests, and nothing happened for two years, I’m sure there’s some kind of law for it. There are laws for pretty much everything in the EU.

The EU terms and conditions you agreed to when first playing the game could be different than the ones made for the US, but if they included the typical “Gaijin reserves the right to change these terms at any time” or the “Gaijin reserves the right to stop services at any time” clauses then that would be their first defense against you.
At least here in the US if someone wanted to take them to court they would have to first go to court over those clauses and somehow prove Gaijin was on purpose using them to take advantage of the consumer. Which would nullify the clauses, then they could go to court over the specific service.
True. But in this case they offered the linking service with out being clear about the draw backs that come with it.
Back when I linked my accounts, all I was told was “Link you account now and keep your progress on PC!”
I was never forewarned about being locked out of the marketplace, locked out from the Gaijin store pack sales, stuck being forced to keep my Xbox just to make most purchases in the game, nor warned about loosing any progress and purchases made in other Gaijin games by trying to fully transfer my account to a PC one.
Most of the people who used this service to link their accounts in the first place did so because they wanted to play on PC and not on console anymore. There was no warning that in the long run, linking your account was going to hurt you.
US or any other law besides EU law is irrelevant, they have transferred their company headquarters with all rights and obligations to the EU. This means only EU law counts, and EU law is very much geared towards the consumer. We could let it come to a head if Gaijin doesn’t take action regarding the account transfer as soon as possible.

That is not necessarily the case. If I wanted to take Gaijin to court, I would end up in a US court not an EU one.
And the terms are still different. I would spend all day trying to post the specifics, and I dont want to clog up this forum, but here is google’s ai overview of it.
" Gaijin’s Terms of Service (ToS) and EULA apply broadly to all users, with specific legal, privacy, and consumer rights differences between the US and EU. EU users benefit from stricter data protection, 14-day cancellation rights, and stricter, non-discriminatory moderation, while US terms are often more restrictive regarding refunds and legal disputes."
Google around it and DM me if you want to talk about it more seriously.

That is likely not correct, i think it depends on where you as the consumer live. I recommend reading section 12 of the ToS.
Whats amusing about section 12 is that at least here in the US the courts are starting to find that binding arbitration clauses such as this violate the peoples rights by either simply not being a fair system to seek remedy as arbitration heavily favors the company, or it provides such a hurdle to people even being able to seek a remedy that they are prevented from such.
It wouldnt be surprising in another 5 or 10 years if arbitration is struck down all together.
Great, now we’re starting to get into the legal side of things
that escalated rather quickly xD
