I'm kind of upset at WGT false advertising

    WGTUniverse:
    I think the promo will be going through January

    Methinks this poor guy was wrongly informed by his team and mates. Took CE only minutes to prove this "thought" wrong. Their bad.

    Mr. Universe and Icon, please keep in mind what your first three letters mean:

    Mods aren't private here. Those who wear the company uniform speak for the company  and it better be correct to maintain the relevance of their posts.

    Furthermore, there's a clear WGT statement in the News of 24 Nov 2016
    (highlighted by me):

    Don't miss this last chance to get Nike clubs before they go away at the end of November!

    BTW: It's only about clubs, but according to the OP,

    krskfr:
    i even messaged WGTICON asking him this question and he advised i buy up the Nike balls while i can.

    Apparently, the hype that WGT created is big enough to let it continue, but it leaves the bitter taste of "false advertising" - see the title of this thread.

    I never read a clarifying word of your company before this thread.
    WGT might have explained in time - they didn't.
    WGT might have prolonged the promo officially: They didn't.
    The mods might have clarified here: CE did.
    So, following a well-known pattern, customers are kept in incertitude and ambiguity by the company.

    As you always say, the majority of customers is outside the forum. They only have WGT's word in the News and compare with reality. What will be their thoughts?

    Alosso, if I had more than 2 thumbs I would give them to you but for now you get 2 Thumbs up on your reply.

    I've often said that Paul makes more sense in his second language, than many do in their first...myself included.

    Thanks a lot!

    It won't help much though, and I don't see where it leads to.

    My question is why is Icon using a picture of actress Kate Mara for a profile pic..?

    You guys really disappoint me for as long as you have been members for those two comments,

    This topic has nothing to do with Icon or the way he chooses to live his life.

    To me and I can't speak for others this topic is serious.

    My opinion is the reason this game is still in Beta is because they can get away with things like this with no worries about what might happen if something goes wrong. Beta now for how long?

    No actually its not that serious . I refuse to believe that the world is going to come to an end over a make believe product in a computer game .The bottom line is , is that eventually the nike products will be removed from the game . All players have from now until then to purchase those items as they see fit . If players wish to stock pile nike balls in anticipation of this event then fine so be it .

    But once those balls are removed from the pro shop and can no longer be purchased , then those same players will eventually deplete their surplus and have to purchase a new brand replacement .

    Although the game is still in Beta it plays great I enjoy it and I really dont care what WGT does because I play for free . All that I have invested is my time so its no big deal . Also I use the L35+ Cally ball so again not worried . AT the same time you also have been here long enough to know , to not let WGT get you all hot and bothered over nothing .

    Could be worse, it could be Schwäbisch.
