There have been several threads in GD about this... posting this here is useless. Go to GD and make your opinions heard.

Guys I do have to agree, all the assassin addicts win most of their games by being able to play 10+ games at a time and out play the others. Just saying, we do pay $25 for unlimited games and now we have been restricted.

This is in the wrong forum. Moving it to Questions & Answers seeing how there are some questions you want answered.
If you continue to post spurious reports in the C&A displinary action will take place.

i think this is more along the lines of why are all cc players being punished because of point dumpers

i wish i had the time to go through all of your game histories to see who of you actually played more than 10 speed games at a time...I would guess on the whole site i could count them on one hand

Doesn't matter, the consideration paid ($25) was for a given set of options and abilities and these have been re-negotiated unilaterally without agreement by those who already paid. Contractually CC would be fucked if someone flipped their shit and sued. The appropriate change would be to limit those who renew or go premium at 'x' date when the site decided upon this limitation to be notified of the limitation and then it would be binding but under actual contract law what CC did doesn't fly.

well no you will find that any company has a clause in there, saying terms and conditions etc can be changed at any stage without any consideration to others.

Here is what I see and I do not recall it promising anything more. I do not recall it saying play unlimited speed games.
In return for your support, Premium Membership earns you the following benefits:
*
Play UNLIMITED simultaneous games *
Play thrilling real-time SPEED games * Create password-protected PRIVATE games (which Free members may join, too)
* Send game invitations to your friends to RESERVE their spots
* Have a GOLDEN rank icon display next to your name
* Feel that WARM and FUZZY feeling you get from supporting a website that you love
* Step out of line and become an honorary member of the GUEST clan and feel that WARM and FUZZY feeling.
* Have the opportunity to play against and get point raped by swarms of multis.
* Have
randomness shoved up your ass and rammed down your throat.
C'mon peeps. 10 game limit is no big deal. Can you honestly say that if you play more than 10 at once that each one will be excellently played by you and no turns would be missed? Honestly?

Do the Terms of Service state that services cannot be changed? Banks certainly do it to you all the time, as do most other businesses.

Actually, as jefjef has pointed out, the STATED services have not changed. I might suggest that the site was only correcting an error that allowed people to play more than 10 speed games at one time.

How about we leave the complaining to those actually effected. Feels like many are whining for the sake of it, even though they never play that amount of speed games anyway.

this is amazingly ridiculous now.....i payed and signed up with full expectations to use this site as i always have played 30 -50 speed games at a time and many, many others do as well.....i dont care who has time to look at what.....there are many players that do this. join 15 speed assasins and are actually playing in another active 10..games.....thats how those game fill..WITHOUT being able to create and join many games they will be very slow start and keep them going.....therefore this not what i paid for!!!! I REPEAT AGAIN....WHEN I PAYED I WAS ABLE TO PLAY UNLIMITED SPEED GAMES.......I ALWAYS PLAY 30-40 games at a time and I DO that WITH many others......SO UNLESS YOUR AN OCTOPUS OR SOMETHING...YOU CANT COUNT THE CC PLAYERS THAT PLAY MANY SPEED GAMES AT ONCE.....JUST BECAUSE SOMEONE THINKS THAT THEY CANT DO SOMETHING, DONT ASSUME OTHERS ARENT ABLE TO.......THIS IS RIDICULOUS....WE WERE NOT WARNED ABOUT ANY CHANGES THAT COULD CUT BACK FROM OUR PREMIUM MEMBERSHIP...AND THIS SITE IS NOW NOT CHEATING OTHERS..BUT NOW IT IS STEALING.....THE CONTRACT AGREED TO DOESNT STATE ANYWHERE THAT THE 3 THINGS YOU GET FROM PAYING FOR PREMIUM MIGHT BE CUT....
I MEAN YOU GET UNLIMITED GAMES...AND SPEED GAMES...AND A COLORED ICON.... REALLY WHAT AM I PAYING FOR....MY MAIN USE OF THIS SITE HAS BEEN TERMINATED WITHOUT REASON...AND THIS MUST BE LOOKED AT.....AND IF CC WONT...AN OUTSIDE PARTY, THIRD PARTY MUST GET INVOLVED IN THIS FALSE ADVERTISING, CONTRACT BREAKING, THIEVES.......YOU SHOULD BE ADDING TO PREMIUM MEMBERSHIP CAPABILITIES NOT TAKING AWAY...THIS IS RIDICULOUS.....AND NEEDS TO BE CORRECTED IMMEDIATELY

i completely agree , just cause others aren able to play over 10 speed games at a time doesnt mean everyone cant. Speed assassian games are over within seconds and its a pain to keep having to join other games instead of getting what we were promised when we bought a premium.this is a stupid new update that will benefit very little but will effect a lot of paying customers.
really when was the last point dumper? they happen so little that this new rule seems pointless since many of the honest players in CC will be effected by this.

* Play UNLIMITED simultaneous games

You are still allowed to play unlimited games
You are still allowed to play SPEED games
I do not see where it tells you, that you can play UNLIMITED SPEED games. Seems like a technicality, but CC has not violated the terms of service based on the above notes.

playing unlimited games is both speed and casual so in that way CC has violated terms of service

This is just plain wrong. Just because there's a disclaimer doesn't mean any modification can be permitted. Consumer expectations and past conduct can create binding commitments and arguably that's what CC did. And where is said policy with those terms and conditions, I can't find them.
