Quoted from Astropin:

How about giving the new investors 10 seconds to breath before hounding them? Given the current situation I would think a couple weeks for refunds would be reasonable.....then hound them. Just a thought.

I'd like to point out that EVERY TIME people have advocated this with all the prior debacles... the people that did listen could not later get refunds, or lost their money outright. Stop encouraging people to screw themselves over. If they want to get out, they have every right to do so.

Quoted from Astropin:

bail myself in a couple months

Good luck with that if things go even slightly south from where they're at now...which is my entire point. You have a higher financial pain point than the OP...congratulations. If Heighway recovers...there will be plenty of Aliens games to go around. If not...he'll have his money and you'll be the one left holding the bag, I'd guess.

Quoted from Astropin:

See this is where we (or I) went off the rails....where did I imply he (or anyone) should stay in longer?

There's a good reason I deleted that part of my response before anyone replied..

Glad that you're still covered with some kind of protection. I just don't think the right call is trying to encourage people to wait if they are at their personal break point and want their money back. It's been proven repeatedly that waiting is a great way to lose your money in this business.

Quoted from chrisnack:

Due to increased production cost of Alien since the game was initially announced we want you to know there is a price increase planned in the near future – however, as a pre-order customer you are still entitled to the price you got when placing your pre-order.

At least they're taking care of the preorders... but yeah....as a potential future customer..NOPE NOPE NOPE. Gah. These companies man...fingers crossed for a very marginal price increase with a LOT of skepticism..
