Console CotM code release has BEEN COMPLETED

XombieMike

Well for point 1, may I suggest a more personal and interactive solution if every other suggestions fails:

I don't know, Stewie got his money in the end.

Update on EU/other territories not having their codes work yet/not appearing on PSN stores:


Enkeria demiurgos

I know there are others, but those are the users I can recall right now.

In any case, I am anticipating what Matt will address on this Wednesday's Inti Creates Twitch stream.

I'm glad people are getting their Switch/3DS codes

Curse of the Moon codes are being sent to the backers one console at a time in the order we (Inti Creates and ArtPlay) are receiving them from the manufactures. Once we receive them, these codes are passed on to Fangamer to pass along to the backers.

Generating the codes itself isn't the longest process, but the process after and closing the deal between the publisher and manufacturers does take a while to process. For example, each code costs the publisher X amount of money, so the process of checking the numbers and making sure the codes function are both important to check. Regions are also separated by different management so the process timing can change even among the same manufacturer.

We are still waiting for PS4/Vita (NA region), Xbox (Worldwide), and Switch/3DS (EU).

Here are the options given by Fangamer with each one of them turned down by me (answer in green).


1) If you register a separate PSN account with Japan as the region, your code should work.
Creating a new JP PSN account is not feasible. It's one memory card per account/region, unless of course you want to format your entire card (removing all save files) just to accomodate one game?! I think not!

2) If you already have a secondary North American or Europe / Australia / PAL region PSN account, or if you have a Nintendo Switch, Nintendo 3DS, or Xbox One, we will ask ArtPlay to provide us with a replacement code for a different region and/or platform. (We can’t guarantee that ArtPlay will provide us with extra codes, and we also don’t have a time-frame available.)
If I had a different console, I would not be asking for a replacement code for PS Vita now, would I? 

3) If neither of the first two options are acceptable, we will work with ArtPlay to manually send a $10 USD payment to you via PayPal.
I do not buy enough things online to justify having an account in PayPal. Even if I do, I will just use my credit card.


As you can see, none of the options provided are remotely useful. Please ask Inti Creates to release codes for R3, else I will not be able to play CotM!

Already did. No reply till now. I guess they just don't care enough.

Ok, from the posts above, the messages I've got and my own ideas about how best to get answers to fit our goal these are the questions I think we should ask.

Regarding the status of  "codes ready today?" they have answered on Twitter that they don't know when they will be, but as soon as they get them they will hand them off to Fangamer. 
"Have you found a working solution to the lack of codes for Region 3 PS4 & Vita backers yet?" The email response from Fangamer makes it clear Inti has no intention to release in that region. So I'm approaching that differently.
To the many PM's I've got about specific things, I don't think the more questions the better in this case. Like I said, GoG questions are useless. All other stuff I think I've worked in as best as possible.

1. Why is it so hard to communicate with IntiCreates regarding Curse?

2. Why was a release date announced before backer codes were taken care of?

3. What parts of the process of getting backers codes caused the problems, and who is at fault?

4. Asia will not be getting a PS4 or Vita release, but we have backers there. Out of region codes require a separate memory card. ArtPlay should not have to send backers refunds due to IntiCreates not publishing in an entire region. This is unacceptable, how will you fix this?

5. Backers are IGA's biggest fans, and this hurts his reputation. How will you make this up to IGA and the backers?

6. How can you let IGA be the one to pay refunds to backers for a publishing issue?

Due to the time zone issues, and wanting as quick a response as possible, I'm going ahead with the questions as I've written them. Thank you for your input. I hope these questions encompass the base of the frustration with IntiCreates and that getting a response will be, as our friend Ben has said,"better than nothing".

I will send these to Mana now, for IGA's review and to pass to IntiCreates.

My intention is to get the questions answered by email. The email goes Me-Mana-IGA-Mana-IntiCreates-Mana-Me. That's how I hope it goes, but we will see.
