…thats where your obligations as user end, whoever sells you the product must provide it as foolproof as possible, thats why theres customer services. It’d be the same as saying that in order to enjoy a summer cruise you must know how to repair the ship’s engines.
The flipside of that is that Anet’s obligation starts once you connect to their service. It’s not their responsibility(or even within their power) to fix you and your ISP’s networking infrastructure so that your signal can make it there.
or, following your nonsensical cruise analogy, you have to make it to the boat yourself, the ship won’t pick you up at your house in Nebraska.
So? Of course Anet isn’t responsible for your network infrastructure , thats your ISP’s responsability, you still aren’t required to possess any sort of deep tech knowledge on the matter beyond picking up the phone and telling whoever supplies your inet service “it doesnt work, fix” (wich is what the OP should’ve done from starters), therefore no, you dont need any tech knowledge to play games, if it was so games wouldn’t be half as popular.
Sure, its handy, no, its no obligation, wich was the initial point, if it was so, it’d be on the box right by “internet connection required”.
@SolarNova : yes i know, but i was talking about performance and stability and how much knowledge the user is supposed to possess in order to play a game, not how easy or hard it is to down zhaitan
, thats what i meant about foolproof. Other than that i agree, games have been dumbed down way too much in the last few years.
The OP’s only fault here is asking why must everything on his end being ok in order to play the game, since its a pretty evident answer.
