	We finished this bad boy, we did two rounds on the panel because we were experimenting with how to get the optical illusions to look the best while also being able to see the components inside.<br />
	<br />
	I really love this one and think we will do more of these because we've brainstormed a few more ideas regarding how far we can go with the optical illusion blending with the inner components.<br />
	<br />
	This also made me think of a new stream our team might get into, which is kinetic computers, ones that move in interesting ways.<br />

	Hi everyone,<br />
	<br />
	First of all, I'd like to apologise to anyone who has been caused an inconvenience due to our cancel / refund system in the last 2 months or so.<br />
	<br />
	Due to a change in PayPal where we had to migrate from what's called "IPN" to "Webhooks" in a rush as IPN is is being deprecated, a few bugs emerged without us knowing because there is nothing in PayPal's documentation which states IPN subscriptions are separate from Webhook subscriptions, this concept still makes no sense to me. What it means is, if someone subscribes through the IPN flow, their subscription does not trigger webhooks, this really bewildered us since the subscriptions look exactly the same in the PayPal dashboard and thus, the result caused complete havoc.<br />
	<br />
	Since we changed from IPN to Webhooks, we also had to restructure how our data looks, changing the concept of how we format subscriptions entirely, this meant that Stripe subscriptions were not exempt from trouble.<br />
	<br />
	While developing solutions and fixing everything, we tried our best to stay on top of emails and send out countless refunds and help everyone we could to manage their subscription, I personally dedicated a large portion of my day to dealing with the issues this migration caused.<br />
	<br />
	It is possible to manage a subscription directly in the PayPal &amp; Stripe dashboard but we understand that it is important for this process to be made as easy and fluid as possible, we really want to make sure members are happy with what we provide.<br />
	<br />
	We worked tirelessly with one goal in mind, fix the cancellation process and the refund process, making it easy and hassle free for people trying to achieve these two things.<br />
	<br />
	After rigorous testing extending weeks, we believe that the new subscription management dashboard is ready for use, it also now comes with email notifications to our team on failed cancellations and refunds, so we can proactively look into the problems and make sure members are happy.<br />
	<br />
	Here's where you find it.<br />
	<br />
	<a href="https://www.thecrimsonmarket.com/account" rel="external nofollow">https://www.thecrimsonmarket.com/account</a><br />
	<br />
	<img alt="image.png.0d684dc2dea3517490123b1e00f422e7.png" class="ipsImage ipsImage_thumbnailed" data-fileid="81" data-ratio="76.95" style="height:auto;" width="486" data-src="https://dev.portal.raum.au/hub/uploads/monthly_2025_07/image.png.0d684dc2dea3517490123b1e00f422e7.png" src="https://dev.portal.raum.au/hub/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><br />
	<br />
	Click on the Manage Subscription button here.<br />
	<br />
	This will take you to the new dashboard.<br />
	<br />
	Here's what it looks like with the emails redacted.<br />
	<br />
	<a class="ipsAttachLink ipsAttachLink_image" data-fileext="png" data-fileid="82" href="https://dev.portal.raum.au/hub/uploads/monthly_2025_07/image.png.17abfb6c56352851779c84f971d847da.png" rel=""><img alt="image.thumb.png.78d5b39eda73fa97da38fa325b9da1c7.png" class="ipsImage ipsImage_thumbnailed" data-fileid="82" data-ratio="61.80" style="height:auto;" width="1000" data-src="https://dev.portal.raum.au/hub/uploads/monthly_2025_07/image.thumb.png.78d5b39eda73fa97da38fa325b9da1c7.png" src="https://dev.portal.raum.au/hub/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></a><br />
	<br />
	This dashboard allows you to see each individual subscription, how many points you have accumulated for it and of course, cancel it.<br />
	<br />
	Now we have also revamped and upgraded our refund system. Which you can find by clicking on terms &amp; conditions in our footer.<br />
	<br />
	<img alt="image.png.97b9a58d46c60ed1f6c76b629f628820.png" class="ipsImage ipsImage_thumbnailed" data-fileid="83" data-ratio="110.94" style="height:auto;" width="265" data-src="https://dev.portal.raum.au/hub/uploads/monthly_2025_07/image.png.97b9a58d46c60ed1f6c76b629f628820.png" src="https://dev.portal.raum.au/hub/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><br />
	<br />
	And finding the refund policy.<br />
	<br />
	<a class="ipsAttachLink ipsAttachLink_image" data-fileext="png" data-fileid="84" href="https://dev.portal.raum.au/hub/uploads/monthly_2025_07/image.png.8610c0b865a37d5a02598d0d558c10d5.png" rel=""><img alt="image.thumb.png.e99ce42fcac60d9ff8a1f6d0f7f3d831.png" class="ipsImage ipsImage_thumbnailed" data-fileid="84" data-ratio="31.50" style="height:auto;" width="1000" data-src="https://dev.portal.raum.au/hub/uploads/monthly_2025_07/image.thumb.png.e99ce42fcac60d9ff8a1f6d0f7f3d831.png" src="https://dev.portal.raum.au/hub/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></a><br />
	<br />
	And clicking the Refund Me button.<br />
	<br />
	There you can select eligible subscriptions and refund them!<br />
	<br />
	Remember, the most we can do is send triggers &amp; events to PayPal and Stripe, we've tested it to our best ability so far but with third party integrations there can always be caveats, plus, software in general is complex and there can always be something missing.<br />
	<br />
	We will continue to monitor everything and improve this system, there is a dedicated section of the team now working on making the Cancel &amp; Refund systems are good as they can be with one main goal of making it easy for people to cancel. If people can also provide their reasons for cancelling and refunding, that is very helpful for us to improve the world wide gaming club for everyone else.<br />
	<br />
	Please keep in mind we are a group of Family &amp; Friends, while our group is growing, we are not at the scale of something like Facebook or Reddit, however, we take bugs and members very seriously and will work towards making things good and right a lot harder than an employee of a standard company as TCM is really a reflection of who we are and what we want to achieve. - However we are still human and can miss something here and there, I only ask that you let us know in a manner which helps us identify and fix the issue.<br />
	<br />
	If you have any issues, please do not hesitate to email us or create a ticket on discord, I will happily be at your service <span><span class="ipsEmoji">🙂</span> If you have any feedback for our cancellation and refunds are handled, please drop a comment below!<br />
	<br />
	If you are here and are about to cancel or make a refund, thank you for your initial interest in TCM and our world wide gaming club, even if you signed up for free and left within your 30 day period, just know that the Golden Ticket was designed for people like you to have the opportunity to get the PC for free, so I'd like to thank you for trusting us and at least dipping your toes in <span class="ipsEmoji">🙂</span> Have a good day!</span>

Overhaul</title><link>https://dev.portal.raum.au/hub/blogs/entry/31-how-to-cancel-crimson-market-monthy-subscription-overhaul/</link><description><![CDATA[<p>
	Hi everyone,<br />
	<br />
	We are working on overhauling how cancellation works at TCM.<br />
	<br />
	Currently to cancel your membership at TCM you go through these steps.<br />
	 
</p>

<p>
	Login
</p>

<p>
	Click on your name in the top right corner
</p>

<p>
	Click on Account Settings
</p>

<p>
	Click on Manage subscription<br />
	<br />
	Add a Reason (helps us make the club better for people)
</p>

<p>
	Click on Cancel (NOT STAY)<br />
	<br />
	---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------<br />
	<br />
	For anyone who has been burdened by the current process, please keep in mind that we did this as quickly as possible after we realised the PayPal dashboard was being a pain for people to cancel their subscription, especially in some countries where the PayPal dashboard is different to what we see in Australia where we figured it would be easy to manage. Our current system also cancels every single subscription you have with us in one go, I know some people don't want this as I've been messaged several times about people wanting to cancel just one of them but this should also show to people that we are not here trying to invent things to make it difficult for people to cancel the club, in fact we are trying to do the exact opposite we just do not have infinite time and resources to achieve what we want instantly.<br />
	<br />
	-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------<br />
	<br />
	We want to make the cancellation process smoother for everyone, we are working on a dashboard dedicated for managing subscriptions individually so people can see exactly what's going on.<br />
	<br />
	TCM wants members to not be frustrated by cancelling and we want to at least know why someone is cancelling so we can work on improving the club for our members.<br />
	<br />
	If you have any feedback or feature requests in terms of managing a subscription which can involve cancelling or even resubscribing later, please add a comment below.

	We are aware of some issues being caused by the recent overhaul to how memberships and subscriptions work for the club. Please do not worry as everything is tracked in PayPal &amp; Stripe, if you are seeing "Not subscribed" Or have not received loyalty points for a recent payment, this is mostly a User Interface bug.<br />
	<br />
	We will make 100% sure everything is resolved by the next spin, we are trying our best to fix everything up, ultimately we take anything related to loyalty points very seriously and have vigorous logs, event tracking and more on our side as well as on Stripe &amp; PayPal's side.<br />
	<br />
	It's very important to us that everyone has the exact LP they should have and are active when they should be so we will triple check everything and once the news comes out that everything is fixed, if there is anything off with your account please do not hesitate to notify us (A news post will be made once the issues are considered to be resolved)<br />
	<br />
	I think it goes without saying that what we are trying to accomplish here is pretty complicated and bound to have some technical issues but we have always been able to track down any issue members have had, we are here to serve you noble Gamers.<br />
	<br />
	Please bare with us a bit <span><span class="ipsEmoji">🙂</span> <br />
	<br />
	- On a side note, we are also working on a way to show all of your separate subscriptions in a new dashboard page in account settings so you can manage each of them more dynamically as well as get more information about what you have and how. So there's that <span><span class="ipsEmoji">🙂</span> </span></span>

	We are juggling around a few ideas on how to better handle rewards that have been unclaimed, there has only ever been one so far but we imagine there could be more.<br />
	<br />
	The first and only unclaimed PC is the 24ct Gold PC as after 2 months of attempting to contact the recipient from multiple emails, we had no reply.<br />
	<br />
	For this particular PC, we decided to spin again for it but it made us think about different options.<br />
	<br />
	We have three options.<br />
	<br />
	1. Spin again next month<br />
	2. Re-use the parts to create a new design and build and spin for it<br />
	3. Auction off the computer where members will be able to bid on the computer with their loyalty points.<br />
	<br />
	We want to know in particular, how this would effect the club in terms of member acquisition and retention.<br />
	<br />
	Which option would make you feel even better about joining the club?<br />
	Which option would make you feel better about owning Loyalty Points?<br />
	<br />
	We'd appreciate if you could leave your responses below as a comment.

	I sent him the form to fill out to have his PC delivered as soon as we can. We will be spending this week focusing entirely on delivery.<br />
	<br />
	The PC for next month, will be the 24ct gold plated PC, Gold Ghost. We had a JoeDon91 previously get picked for this PC but after several attempts to email him from my business and different personal emails, he never responded, he also only had a Golden Ticket and would've got it entirely for free so I presume he used a fake PayPal account or something like that to win and never check anything, I like to give people the benefit of the doubt so anything could have happened and I don't want to call anyone out for using fake accounts (don't do it :P) but in this case I tried my best over a few months to get in contact and this is the first person ever to not respond to the reward.<br />
	<br />
	So be it, someone else will get the Gold Ghost!

	We thought, well, we knew it would be a good idea to give people updates about what is going on in the club since people might be wondering about the progress of the current build, their own<br />
	reward deliveries, what the next builds might be and overall how the club is going.
</p>

<p>
	This is the beginning of that.
</p>

<p>
	Let's start with the current build, The Last Epoch PC.
</p>

<p>
	This is an extremely difficult build with a very intricate water cooling system and a details case mod which we had to 3D model, print, assemble, sand, prime, paint 3 coats on and mount.<br />
	<br />
	WORK IN PROGRESS PHOTOS - nothing is final here<br />

	<br />
	<br />
	EHG told us that they would help us show the PC off, unfortunately we think that if we were to send it to someone next weekend, it would be in the spotlight for too short of a time for the amount of effort<br />
	time and money put into it. Therefore we have decided to move this build to next month, I hope the concepts we showed before being realised here in these new images is enough for you to not get too upset with us for<br />
	this decision.<br />

	WORK IN PROGRESS PHOTOS - nothing is final here (we have more polishing etc to do)<br />
	 
</p>

<p>
	We do have a saving grace, a friend of ours who goes by the name Waffles has been building computers full time as a life style and profession, we have decided that he will join us in building custom PC's, <br />
	<br />
	<img alt="image.png?ex=680e048e&amp;is=680cb30e&amp;hm=de2da606fafa6143ffbe9ea03889572c402e0f7cfab441ecb36325315d7990d6&amp;" data-ratio="91.22" style="height:auto;" width="740" data-src="https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1202096669886529646/1365633231218806906/image.png?ex=680e048e&amp;is=680cb30e&amp;hm=de2da606fafa6143ffbe9ea03889572c402e0f7cfab441ecb36325315d7990d6&amp;" src="https://dev.portal.raum.au/hub/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><br />
	<br />
	he is undertaking the Kintsugi build which is an amazing computer but we got stuck with that one too because the waterblocks for 5080s are not available, ours was supposed to arrive before the 10th of April and then<br />
	we got an email saying it will come at the end of May. So Waffles did some quick thinking and told us everyone loves his sleeper builds, so we went ahead and started to concept out a sleeper build.
</p>

<p>
	We got all of the parts and he went to work, he provided the necessary videos (it isn't easy especially for the first time to get good footage, he made a build log which you can read, we edited all of the videos and <br />
	posted them). This computer is done and this is the one we want to send out next weekend.<br />

<p>
	Now for some people we are still working through getting their reward to their door, we always do achieve it, we delivered a computer to China (not easy, had to go there personally on a plane) and we delivered<br />
	a computer to South Africa (insane if you think about it), a computer with a real diamond in it too. That one came with a broken ram card (We tested everything before shipping it so the plane turbulence may have<br />
	caused damage), we have literally replaced every single damaged component if there is one in a PC going as far as replacing an entire GPU for the first clock we sent (damaged in flight).
</p>

<p>
	Based on these experiences, we have learned to take great care when shipping to certain countries, we get custom crates made, go very heavy on packing, get premium delivery services (we had computers stuck in random<br />
	warehouses etc otherwise), this is time consuming and costs a lot of money so please bare with us if you have a large reward which we need to ship to you, some of the custom computers we build are THIRTY KILOGRAMS and<br />
	have intricate designs so we want to make sure it gets to people in one piece. We will get better and faster at shipping worldwide as we go but so far we have delivered every computer thus far and replaced any damaged<br />
	parts (only happens about 10% of the time).
</p>

<p>
	Now let's get on to what we have planned next,
</p>

<p>
	We have been working on a project revolving around the first ever Macintosh, we are trying to fit it out with the best modern parts it can fit, we've already cleaned up the case to remove stains and yellowing.<br />
	The biggest challenge we have put forward to ourselves is to make the Screen of the Macintosh hook up the the modern GPU, that means we will be seeing modern games in low pixel count black and white on the screen.<br />
	This is going to be insane if it works the way we think it will, it's going to be a real gem and of course you can hook up additional monitors to play games properly, it's just for show but we want the screen to work properly.
</p>

<p>
	You can check out how this is done here

<p>
	We'll of course have the full build video etc soon, we already filmed taking the Mac apart which was very interesting to us as we were dealing with some of the first harddrives in personal computing, these things had 20<br />
	megabytes of disk space xD.<br />
	<br />
	We will try to give weekly updates now here <span><span class="ipsEmoji">🙂</span> </span>
