Re: [Audyssey] Preordering was MOTABeta
Hi Will, Well, to be honest I have enough stress as it is right now without adding more preorders or subscription based gaming on my hands. As it is the game's registration system isn't in place yet so I can' give customers a new product key if I wanted to. That isn't probably going to be in the beta until next month or so. I will say though I'll probably begin taking preorders the week before Christmas or so once I'm sure the game will be ready for the holidays or is in final testing. william lomas wrote: i'd set that up now, smile, then people who pre-ordered the game could tr all betas and everyone else would have to wait until full release that way you are making more money --- Gamers mailing list __ Gamers@audyssey.org If you want to leave the list, send E-mail to gamers-unsubscr...@audyssey.org.

And of course it's all the more noticeable because we're such a small community. I bet mainstream devs get nasty comments like that all the time but they can just shrug it off because they've probably got lots of folks there who can just hit the delete button or handle the comments however they see fit, whereas we can't necessarily do that.

Re: [Audyssey] Preordering was MOTABeta
Oh, absolutely. It is a lot more personal as I have contact with my customers directly on this list, on the USA Games list, various other accessibility related lists, by phone for tech support calls, etc. As a result I get to know them some and as is to be expected I like some and dislike others on a personal and professional level. It wouldn't be that way if USA Games were a mainstream commercial company. I know that the mainstream game companies have several levels of customer service which are there to handle sales, tech support, and so on. Chances are slim to none that you will get to talk to the developer of game x or to speak to the head of the company. As a result they can afford to do whatever they want, and treat their customers with indifference.

Re: [Audyssey] Preordering was MOTABeta
hmmm I personally wouldn't care for a subscription thing, I am happy to wait for things. I also don't care for payed testing, sure I get things but then there is no fun in it. Its different when say a new game comes out, I apply and get a test position, I then test the game, and put in stuff maybe contribute sounds and ideas. I then get a copy for free, well maybe I don't. but still if I do get it for free and even if I don't I can say look I put work into that, part of this is mine because I thought of x idea. Now if I payed for it, its like, well I payed for this, so I expect this, it is my right to get this, because I payed for it, and you will give it to me or else. See, all the fun is gone. It becomes something to buy. and I don't care for it. At 03:20 p.m. 2/10/2009, you wrote: Hi Trouble, that's true of course, but some people in our comunity have wicked tempers.

The main reason is it causes both the customers and developers too much stress. Ever since taking on both Alchemy's preorders and my own I've been frequently hounded over those games. When will the game be released? Why is it taking so long to release the game? Can I have my money back? If you don't show me a demo of the game I paid for I'm going to take you to court. As you can see some of the inquaries can get quite nasty. What many of these ccustomers fail to realise is I can't do it all over night. It isn't my full time job, and I purely work on the games for fun in my free time. I never signed up to be a target for someone's hate mail, or to be threatened to be sued over using the sales of the preorders to buy content for the game/games in question. The also fail to realize by answering their endless nag messages is time better spent on working on said games. Hayden Presley wrote: What about USA Race Way? I'm really looking forward to that one...can you still preorder that one?

All preordering was done during the Christmas season of 2007 when I was expecting to release Montezuma's Revenge. Unfortunately my plans got screwed up when the mainstream copyright holders of that game decided to threaten me with a law suit if i didn't discontinue the product.
