I bought Windows 8 yesterday (I would not do it this year, if not for DF);
Installed Windows 8 this morning;
Opened Store;
Searched for Dogfight;
No results!
Contacted Microsoft via chat.
The agent told me to change Location settings (changing it to USA).
After changing it, the app appeared on the Store! Yabadabadoo, I yelled...
But when I tried to buy it, I needed to reenter the credit card number and all details, and the system asked for a valid USA address and phone number...
I told that to the agent.
Then he asked me to wait a moment, to talk with his support team.
After 2 long hours chating (and I have all the conversation saved in a text file, if needed), the last words were these ones:
(...)
Michael D: Thank you for waiting Pedrinho. After raising our concern with our support team, they response "Yes, is likely that the issue has something to do with the availability of the application in the country"
Pedrinho: So, no fixes?
Pedrinho: I have this very app running on my Android Phone, bought via Android Market with that same credit card...
Michael D: At this time, it will be important to contact the developer instead to send them a feedback regarding the matter. I truly wanted you to have the game; however, I am limited by the restriction that the system has.
Pedrinho: OK, thank you for your time.
Michael D: You are most welcome Pedrinho.
So, please, Zup, what next? Are we, non USA citizens, left without the Windows 8 version of DF????
Believe me: I bought Windows 8 and installed it today, just to be able to play DF on a big screen! Yeah it can sound absurd, but I antecipated my idea of buying Windows 8 for this reason, cuz otherwise I wouldn't buy it this year, I am quite happy with Linux Mint and Windows 7.
If you don't have plans of making DF abailable for other countries, please warn users of this issue on the main page!!!
