THE ICEMAN1313

I hate it when people disconnect online so either they don't record a loss or just deny you the win. What's even worse is someone that will happily take 7 or 8 wins against you in a row and then when you finally trap them in a position where you can't lose, they disconnect. Ring any bells THE ICEMAN1313? All you can do is add them as an unpreferred player which leaves you feeling unsatisfied.

This is what happened while playing Connect 4 yesterday which I managed to get a free code for. Incidentally it's quite a fun little game with numerous modes of play but certainly way overpriced at the 800 points they're asking for it.

The last time I encountered this was with Rock Band where people would disconnect right near the end of a song if they were losing. I think game makers need to consider this a little more with the steady move to online play and make sure there is some kind of retribution for disconnecting early, otherwise people will just stop playing these games. If you can't bare to lose you shouldn't be playing in the first place.

So then THE ICEMAN1313, named and shamed. Will it make a difference? No, but I feel satisfied :)
