Charles you said this so well, go you tom and don't worry about the
detractors. You're doing a lot for us as game players. Help I couldn't
develop what you're doing.

Subject: [Audyssey] in support of Thomas Ward - Re: To the developers
ofMontezuma's Revenge
Just off the top of my head, here goes: If I remember right, Tom didn't
want the games to not be created, thus leaving those who preordered with
nothing. He also wanted to work on them. He is still doing so, although,
through the demands of others, plans have had to be changed. I commend
Tom for not letting gamers get screwed. Gamers, myself among the number,
preordered both titles in good faith from James North, who let all of us
down. He also screwed Tom, big time. Tom is working on rectifying the
situation as best he can, as quickly as he can. Other projects he has
plans for are on hold. I can't wait to see those, too. The games he is
working on may not be in their original form, which bums me out, but I'll
get good games, I'm sure. Hang in there, folks. Don't give up, Tom.
It'll get there.

Hi Jason,
Keep in mind James North had sold the game to several customers before I
took over the project. I agreed to take it over, and sell it under my own
name once I completed it. I never saw one dime of the money James North
got for creating the early development of the game. So in addition to the
$1500 I made off the game during the Christmas season I would have had to
come up with an extra $1000 to insure everyone got their money back. The
$1500 I made over the Christmas season would have been no problem to
refund at the time. However, coming up with the money to refund everyone
who paid James North instead of me was not financially possible, nor do I
think I have to owe $1000 in refunds I did not personally take orders
for.
Cheers.

contacted to remove the title (actually, all you'd really need to do is
re-name it) you should have refunded everyone's purchase. Not give them
something else that they may or may not want. That's just how business
goes.
It would have been the professional way to handle a bad situation - in
my
opinion.
