    Christ people, this is a virtual dog in a virtual world and is completely irrelevant for gameplay. If you're over 15 years old and throwing a temper tantrum over something so minor you seriously need to get your priorities straight. I don't want to hear any of this "well.. well.. it's the principle of the matter!" arguments. You don't get a happy meal toy with your big mac; do you throw a fit over that too?

    No because I have the option of getting a happy meal if I want a toy :smiley:

    "The squeaky wheel gets the grease" and other analogies fit here.

    Nah... "The squeaky wheel gets the kick!"

    That may be how "life" works at some companies, old man, but it's not a good way to conduct yourself. It's the way that children get what they want. It isn't the way civilized people conduct business.

    Haha you don't think the business world is a cutthroat, soulless world?


    Lol... I was like that in College, My professor just told me to surf the net or whatever and gave me A's because he didn't want me making him look like a dumb ass every day.

    But your absolutely right on your point with it.

    Honestly ZOS could fix this easily, just let everyone link their account with steam and boom, Insta pet since you "already" have an account or whatever.

    You wont get the money back because of the sale, but hey. Lets take one thing at a time here.

    I tend do agree. They should just make the hound a free gift for the steam imp edition, and allow a separate purchase for -just- a hound code for like 3 - 5 USD. People can purchase what they want and be able to tie it to their existing account.

    This is a perfect example of why they shouldn't be giving any kind of wolf pet. Because people like you think that this is how you get things. That if you scream loud enough, eventually they'll toss you candy to shut you up.

    That shouldn't be acceptable behavior in this community. We can do better.

    "The squeaky wheel gets the grease" and other analogies fit here. That's how life works son. Never settle for subpar customer service.

    That may be how "life" works at some companies, old man, but it's not a good way to conduct yourself. It's the way that children get what they want. It isn't the way civilized people conduct business.

    So basically as a paying customer we should just accept whatever scraps they throw our way? We are not allowed to voice our concerns?

    No. I'm saying that your concerns are trivial, and that you should save your voice for things that are important.

    I don't care that you think a dog is important. It isn't. If the game were going to go free-to-play (it won't, but this is a hypothetical), that would justify this level of outcry.

    Who the hell are you to judge what other people deem important? I guess with your cocky, smart Ass attitude you feel entitled to do so. Would you tell a car owner that gas isn't important just because you don't own one?

    Clearly this is important to SOME people, if it wasn't there wouldn't be so much outcry. But please, go ahead and make another blanket statement about how people are complaining about "trivial"things just for the sake of complaining, and not because it's something they feel is important to THEM.

    If you wanna get analytical, I could call you out for being"childish" because all you do is go to other people's threads and tell them they're wrong because you said so..."civilized"my Ass.

    I seriously think the "OMG people stop whining and deal with it posts" are starting to outnumber the complaint posts. You realize you're complaining about people complaining, right? Isn't that even more pointless and absurd? And really, I'm generally the first to support the idea that a company has control of a game, they can do what they want with it, but a customer does have a right to make a request or point out something disagreeable. Yes, some people have gone over the top, which is not constructive, but I kind of think saying "shut up and deal with it" is even less constructive.

    Hello everyone,
    we have posted an update regarding the Wolfhound pet in another thread on this forum.
    While the grey wolfhound will remain an exclusive through Steam, we will be offering a brown version of the Wolfhound pet (tentatively called the Riften Woflhound) at some point in the future. Stay tuned for more details on how you'll be able to get your hands on one.
    We are closing this thread now, as there already exists a thread about this topic.
