I pledged to a lot of Kickstarter (board) games before the pandemic. They should all be delivered by now (most of them in the middle of the pandemic) but none of them arrived yet. One of them promised they will start shipping the end of this month… And these games I paid good money to get them early.
Why Im writing this here? Either Epic is on this shipping delay scam with all of Kickstarter or there is really a big problem with companies which has no contract with carriers.
Not defending them, they are in the wrong because they told us january (which they shouldnt if they are not 101% sure they can keep), but they are communicating it with us which is nice. Eventually everybody who is eligible will get his/her package.
a) They failed to maintain a deadline they set themself. Its free stuff you getting, is it really bad you have to wait for it… its not like Epic wont send it to you, you have to wait a little bit more.
b) First why you have to brag? Second why do you have to prove them anything? Either your friends are very young or never grown up.
c) Why do you worry about the Epic Games brand? You shouldnt. Just go to any random, not engine specific game dev forum and ask them about this challenge. Lot of them never heard of it… You see a lot of negative things here because this thread is about the challenge.
