iRacing - My slant
Please tell me what series you race in so I can tune in to watch! I
race RL amatuer (Porsche Club and NASA) and I wouldn't look down my nose at ANY form of professional car racing.

I'm no fan of this practice but "iPonzi" is simply an incorrect analogy anyway. Whatever anyone thinks, there is a post by a person (fellow Aussie in fact) being recently auto billed for 12 months sitting on the iRacing forums since Sept 29 culminating in the following today from Tim - "Right now we send emails to people who have auto renew enabled 2 weeks before their payment is due. We also email those who disabled auto renew to ask them to renew manually. Lastly, we also email those who did not renew to ask them back. Just recently got the capability to do this, but everyone should be aware now if they're not blocking our domains emails." In any case, some seemed to like things as it was - "Note to self...select 'autobill' and tell the wife...ooops...sorry about that...hehehe." In a month there will be private servers - how will they bash iRacing then? |

Has iRacing always sent out these auto-renewal email notices? If so, then why the complaints, the "iracing ripoff" thread here, the jack b thread above, and now some Aussie guy? Then again, why have auto-renewal at all, especially for the yearly subscriptions? The players that like the game are going to renew anyway, and it's only going to create complaints from the players that didn't want to auto-renew. |

>> Has iRacing always sent out these auto-renewal email notices? > No, this is no doubt a reaction to recent complaints. Looking at that thread and doing a web search, it seems that a few states (USA) require (consumer law) these notices. Then again, being a consumer law, there's seldom any fine or other risk, since minor infractions tend to get ignored, other than the person usually may a refund, if that person lives in one of those few locations that even have such a law. Then again, maybe it was due to the thread here and the Jack B thread, and the negative publicity. Regardless of the reason, they're sending out notices now, so problem solved for any future auto-renewals. Would be nice if that guy got a refund though. |
