Because the reports go unheeded by management until it costs them money, at which point the quality department get their arses kicked for not fixing the problem that management ignored.

This one looks like a pressure seal, which as the name suggests seals by tightening the cap. In my experience from a packing QC standpoint the potential problems with a pressure seal are either the seal not sealing fully because the cap isn’t tightened enough, or the seal getting damaged by the cap being over tightened. This looks like a cheaply made seal wad to me. I dare say the QC department complained about it but management wanted to save a few cents.

Likewise, I’m enjoying it but it just doesn’t deserve any awards in a year when other games that are simply better came out. It’s a firmly mid tier game and it was (not) awarded accordingly.

“Essentially infinite” is a bit of a stretch. The minimum warranty period is 12 months but it is true that there’s no defined maximum period. The reasonably expected lifespan of a consumer good generally increases with its value. Manufacturers and retailers are free to offer further warranties in addition to the guaranteed warranty period under the consumer law but this does not reduce or replace your rights under the law.

I will add that change of mind refunds are not covered by Australian consumer law and it is uncommon for retailers to accept them compared to the US. You can usually exchange something for another item of equivalent value or store credit, but you usually can’t buy a phone to try out and return it after 30 days for example.

It’s going to moon any day now, for real this time! /s
