Not Massive: Microsoft Offering Live Refunds
Microsoft recently announced that the company would be changing its policy to remove a longstanding requirement for Xbox Live gold in order to access streaming sites like Netflix and Hulu. In order to appeal to those who subscribe to Gold solely for these services, Microsoft has announced a partial refund system for those with active subscriptions after the transition takes place. Following the update this June, customers with time remaining on their accounts will be eligible for a pro-rated refund.
The amount of the refund has not been detailed, but is based on how much time is remaining on the account. Now all Microsoft needs to do is lift the subscription requirement to access MMOs and the company will be more on par with Sony’s services.

Age of Wushu’s $600 Ferret
Ferrets are adorable, they are like a cute rodent with the intelligence of a pig, playfulness of a puppy, and the ability to poop in a litterbox like a cat. They are mischievous and will steal your car keys and go joy riding and if you’re really not paying attention may end up joining a chain gang and I’m sorry I’m getting distracted by that picture up top. At the same time, I fall into the category of people who will never own a ferret thanks to a fantastic allergy to pet hair, all of it. So to compensate I’ve delegated myself to crazy virtual pet guy, which is like the guy down the street who owns thirty cats but on the internet.
Age of Wushu has introduced a new pet ferret that can only be obtained between June 11th and June 23rd, and the process to retrieve it is simple: Top your account off with 2000 gold. How much is two thousand gold, you might be asking? Well let’s head on over to the Snail Games page where we can top off our accounts and-
Six hundred dollars. To obtain this pet ferret, Snail Games expects you to top off your account with six hundred dollars. To put that into perspective, with that same money I could buy a real ferret and keep it alive longer than the gold would last me in Age of Wushu. I could invest that $600 and have my money make money. Or make three months payments on my car (loan plus insurance). Or upgrade my computer with a new video card and some ram. Or try and bribe a politician, something useful.
At the end of the day, this is simply a gift for players topping up their accounts with a lot of money. If Snail Games decides not to sell the ferret by itself on the cash shop (assuming they aren’t already), that is their own marketing failure and they are ultimately the only ones who will be hurt by it.
