Rewards Fulfillment Progress

I knew a guy who had a time machine, but he got lost in time.

This is a photo of his time machine:

Since i'm in the southern hemisphere and it's already early spring, did i already get my stuff months ago and not realise? or am I just waiting till halfway through 2015?

What is this "PA usb thumb drive" you guys speak of? I really have no idea what it is or what it looks like.

It's a bit of kickstarter loot.

We also haven't shown it off yet.

Hi Garat, thanks for the reply to my other post, I shall be seeking those comms and digi art books out very soon!
Do you have a status update for the holiday sale commander that was confirmed to all people who bought before 2014, I believe? And will t-shirts ever likely be made available to the masses?
Thanks again.

Like the custom commanders, there's a backlog of commanders to make.

Will there be t-shirts? Almost definitely. Will the Kickstarter ones be made available? Unlikely, I think?

Aw, sad face, I couldn't afford to back for a tshirt at kickstarter, but I would love to advertise my love of the game on my personage...
Excited about new comms now!

I can't wait for you to show it off. I was just wondering about it the other day. It is just a flash drive, that likely means, aside from coming packaged with the game files and a redeption key for the retail game likely on a .txt file, it can also hold other files if I wanted to move it off and on?

Will we be able to change our initial shirt selection before they are sent out? As I understand, the shirt designs have changed a little since the kickstarter and I cannot even remember which size I picked.

It'd be nice if the Kickstarter stuff stayed kinda exclusive. Make equally cool stuff other stuff for those who came later to party.

That is unless you want to reopen the $1,000 custom commanders. Coz now I know I could potentially make a profit on one it changes the equation.

I wouldn't make any assumptions yet.

Mike

Which. That it won't be re-opened. There's profit in some of them. Or both?

Both really.

It's not unreasonable to think that the idea of allowing Custom Commanders to be "ordered" again at some point might happen, but it'd require some VERY careful internal logistics unless they were to hire someone specifically to primarily or solely work on Commanders. It's tough because generally in larger studios Artists can easily be shuffled around right when they aren't needed anymore on Project A to exactly when they start to be needed on Project B because they happened to line up just right, it's not always the case of course. It might happen, but I don't think it's likely.

As for having a good chance to make a profit, we just can't say yet, sure reading the Polygon article on it's own makes it sound like a sure thing but is it really? I mean, given all the factors involved, is it a good idea to draw conclusions based on just 6 commanders that had 2-3+ Months of pure exclusivity on the market when there is still about 95 Other Commanders that haven't potentially shown up yet? Not to mention that this is a very subjective thing we're dealing with as well with the Visual Appeal aspect to all this.

At this point, we just don't have the data to know anything for certain. Is it possible several of the initial 6 Commanders only reached profitability because of the exclusivity? Maybe, if they were literally the best 6 designs they'd still have the same outcome.....potentially. This is just a case where not only a large number of interracting factors that make things complex to figure out but there are also factors that basically can't be guess at until it's actually put ot the player like "Visual Appeal" and "Perceived Value".

Believe me, I'd like it if it was an easy "yes" answer and everyone can have thier cake and eat it too, but based on everything I've seen I'm just not convinced.

Mike

Yay!!!

Id definately be up for buying some pa goodies.

Would love a t-shirt or a 6" comander model to put next to my monitor.

Not the backer exclusives obviosly, but if you did release more stuff you got one garenteed sale (as long as it's not stupidly expensive)

So I've been out of the loop what the physical deliverables eta?

Oh would you looks at that...I'm poor now

Didn't receive anything yet.

are you surprised though?
