I understand the point of pre-ordering, and I can even handle dropping a fiver on one (I certainly did for Xenoblade) but why would you want to give someone a $50+ loan with no interest for an indefinite amount of time?

The release dates weren't "indefinite" when they were ordered, there was an actual date.

^Right...and at the time both developers had respectable track records. At this point, that is the only saving grace...

Im curious about Sturmwind. The latest delay was due to the factory that was pressing the CD closed down. Ok thats understandable no big deal. So they found another place that was suppose to press the game. That was so many months ago. How many months does it take to press a new CD. Especially since it only a few thousand copies. ?? That's why i didnt pre-order it.

With respects to Sturmwind, I honestly feel like the publisher "RSG" has really done a terrible job with respects this game in just about all forms imaginable (promtion, marketing, preorder etc.) And is really to blame. With all that said, many in the DC community have recently gotten into contact with the devs of the game and have been made aware of the consumer concern regarding their game. While mass production and release of their game is out of their hands as they are not the publishers, they have taken many of the advice laid by the community and as such have been very receptive to our questions and advice. They are now taking it upon themselves to market and promote the game as well as providing some very awesome features about the game. Needless to say, the game looks wonderfully promising :D

EDIT: this does not mean at all that RSG is no longer at the helm! It still up to them as the publisher to begin mass production of said game and provide a release date. All Duranik (the developers) can do is continue to keep the consumer up to date and notified of any new developments with regards to the game (because its appears that RSG can't even do that right or at all :?)

Provided above is there new FB page along with the new website for the game.

Naah, shooters are cool. But it's nice to see something different on DC for once...

Anyways, check the second trailer. There's still some stuff in there for you... :wink:
