(KICKSTARTER) Prodos Games Aliens/Predators: Recent developments pp.35ff

[NurgleHH]

Never again Prodos.

What annoys me the most is that they will probably pull the option and sell to "another big company" and then they are gone and all unsatisfied backer claims are nullified.

+1, only to get some time again. They promised 500 orders this week, I think they won't do it!

[Marauderman]

Closed my pledge again, for the exact order I place the first and second time they reopened their pledge manager. I starting to get to the stage that I wished I missed this kickstarter. Its sad but true.

[Inso]

I just got an order through from Prodos. 3 Vulkan Battlesuits. I ordered them on Sunday so three working days... not bad at all.

I know it doesn't help with the AVP situation but I just thought I'd share in case people wanted to buy other stuff and were worried it wouldn't ship

[rob_the_robgoblin]

From what I can tell, I think they are only planning on selling up once the Kickstarter has been shipped.

If they sell up before that point, they will only do so if the Kickstarter is shipped.

Prodos is questionable at the best of times, but not quite that crass.

Yeah, the Pledge Manager is a total mess. Although I am not the driver of that, I can only apologise for the stupid need to reopen and close it all the time.

I can confirm the 500 copies thing is not untrue. The aim is to complete UK and USA shipments using that and there should be some left over for elsewhere. The latter bit may not be 100% as it's not my decision or role, but I at least know that 500 KS copies are coming into the warehouse in Poland.

Sounds promising Rob - you know this is the type of conversation that Prodos as a company needs to have on a regular basis rather than a wall of silence like we've seen all too often.

I don't Need conversation, I Need My pledged items. But Here in Germany No one got i, only a few Shops and Spiel-visitors.

Agreed there but I do think that we all might have been feeling a little less pissed off if there was more communication with the punters. I do share your feelings with the delivery though - walking into my FLGS the other day and physically holding a copy of the damn game while at the same time having no idea if mine will ever be delivered made me feel more than a little queasy...

[Arcturus]

Yeah, i' m past the point where communication could do any good! Send me my pledge, Prodos. Sorry Rob but hearing that you are leaving the sinking ship doesn't make me very confident.

Another point is that Prodos likes to send backers their miscasts. I got so much broken Warzone stuff that it's ridiculous.

Since Prodos is struggling to get enough cash to ship the orders a refund is out of the question i guess?

[Verderer]

They're really taking the piss now, this in the latest news-letter: "We have some very exciting news that many of you have been waiting for! Our new add-ons for the popular Alien vs Predator: The Hunt Begins are now available for pre-order!"

That's not what MANY OF US have been waiting for.

One of  the blog or facebook updates said that was a definite NO.

Just got that email too.
I believe the appropriate phrase here is : to add insult to injury...

[CptJake]

I for one hope they sell a shit ton of those £35 Queens so they can make enough to send us backers what they owe us.

[Love_the_Lash]

At the risk of sounding like I have Stockholm Syndrome I would buy a Queen if I actually thought it would be delivered to me...

Wait, what?
