Hi, I'm a 44 year old avid gamer. Last year I subsribed to IGN.com They have an open gaming website that is pretty nice. For $19.95 I was allowed for one year to download all the cheats ect. That I wanted and was able to use the members forums, ect. It was ok. The service does work.
The only problem is getting off of it. When I first joined IGN offered me a couple of magazine subscriptions. I filled out the forms and never got the books of course, but I changed my mind with the subscription to the web site. I had been on a week and decided I didnt want to stay. I contacted IGN about this and the entire thing was taken care of over the phone. The girl convinced me to stay and try it for a year, so I did. I had already cancelled the subscription for renewal, but gues what happened November 2? They automatically renewed the sub! If you go on IGN they say the subscription to the site is $19.95 a year. I was charged $24.95 for this renewal with NO notice from the company. This glitch would not be such a problem if I could recontact them. The only numbers they have go to answering machines and the web site won't let you send them an email. Sure, they have a fax # but I dont have a fax! So far it's been nothing. Stay away from them. They will not let you leave. It sounds like a good deal at first, until you try to get out. Then they refuse to let you go! I may have to have my bank acct # changed just to get them off! Ripoff!!!
