In coming CoH3 fan abuse
Countdown.....


To CoH3 White Knights;
So Sega really cares about fans?
Perhabs never fully trust a big company that is deeply involved with GAMBLING and deceptive marketing!.

Sega sued for ‘rigged’ arcade machine
The Key Master game machine has been a target for years:

*SNIP*
Key Master is no longer listed on the Sega Amusements website; instead, it’s been re-named Prize Locker. It’s the same design, but it’s 100% skill-based, Sega said on the website. In the lawsuit, Muto’s lawyers said Prize Locker and the conversion kit (which “allows an operator of a Key Master game to convert the game” to a skill-based one) are offered because Sega itself has realized that “many areas of the world aren’t able to benefit from this outstanding category [of arcade game] due to local or state regulations prohibiting their operation.” Lawyers alleged that this is Sega “tacitly conced[ing] that Key Master is rigged.

Though Key Master is no longer officially available on the Sega Amusements website, there are still machines in circulation. Key Master is still listed on the Komuse website.

“Defendants have refused to cease their deceptive conduct and continue to manufacture and advertise the Key Master Machines as games of skill, as opposed to the illicit gambling machines they truly are,” the lawyers wrote. “This refusal, and continued marketing of the Key Master Machines as games of skill, only serve the profit interests of Defendants.”

Voila new name, same BS;

My grandma actually used to work on these machines. And the test run up takes the key through all the key holes. Yes it is riged to only allow win for each item that is paid for, for example. If you have a $200 watch in there, it won't let a win until that item is paid for.


On February 23;


Sega release date shenanigans;
Let's release CoH3 on the Russian holiday on February 23; Defender of Fatherland.

You're telling me a claw machine knockoff is rigged? Claw machines have been rigged since before I was a twinkle in my father's eye. What else is new?

Did you really think they fill those things with ipods and new phones just so you can snatch them out with some practice?

You would have to be fairly retarded not to realize that you literally can't make money on those things unless they're rigged. And if you can't make money on them, why would they put them in an arcade? Common sense mate.

Dollars to donuts the new "skill based" cabinets are either gonna get filled with rubber bouncy balls, hair ties, and chinesium kids' toys, or they are going to be almost impossible to win, even while not being rigged.
