Telltale Games

jmm · 05/04/2007, 07:43 pm

After reading tabacco's announcement, I checked my email.

Mine tells me that episode 6 will be available on Thu May 10 12:00:00 CDT 2007

If thats not correct, whats the correct date?

tabacco · 05/04/2007, 07:48 pm

May 10 is the correct date, as always. Noon CDT is a fictional time, though. I'm not sure where it got that from.

Nothing has changed, despite what the emails claim.

Syn · 05/04/2007, 07:59 pm

I'm not lying about this, but the email I got said:

Thank you for ordering on Telltale Games. The date when the product that you Pre-Ordered will be released has been changed. The product listed below will now be available on Tue May 01 00:00:00 CDT 2007.

Obviously it was a typo but that's the reason I popped my head in just now. I was like "IT WAS RELEASED 3 DAYS AGO!!!". As you can imagine, I'm a little disappointed now.

tabacco · 05/04/2007, 08:00 pm

Yeah, May 1 is one of the dates some people got

Tale · 05/04/2007, 08:29 pm

Seeing the May 1st date in my e-mail is what spurred me to check the forums right now. I figured it must be in error because I didn't get a release notification e-mail with download link.

pheeph · 05/04/2007, 08:47 pm

Isn't May 10 Thursday?

Kingsley · 05/04/2007, 08:50 pm

Humbug, that letter looked like some sort of badly-thought-out phishing line.

vimes · 05/04/2007, 10:28 pm

I just noticed I received the same mail Syn received

DJT · 05/04/2007, 10:47 pm

hmm if this is a phising attempt someone has hacked telltales custumer database because the order number in the subject line is legit ??
i wonder if it was suppose to say Tue May 08 ?? so the preorder people got it 2 days in advance to even the server load ? but why does it not refer to telltales website ?

jmm · 05/04/2007, 10:49 pm

Its not, Tabacco said in another thread that he went to DR's web to change something about the game and DR's system sent the emails (or something like that)

Original post.

tabacco · 05/04/2007, 11:02 pm

I also said it in this thread

*Hero1* · 05/05/2007, 12:23 am

we may have to resind those presents after that

NHJ BV · 05/05/2007, 12:33 am

I also got May 1st, but the email was different from the others, and if it had been released then I would have read it here or elsewhere. No big deal

Mel · 05/05/2007, 12:45 am

The emails (I got 2

) actually ended up in my regular inbox (not my bulk folder).

Panda90 · 05/05/2007, 12:54 am

I got one too. Mine said May 1st, shame really, I want it now!

maximmortal · 05/05/2007, 01:38 am

I got two e-mails. Both said May 1st! Gutted.

OnCallDoc · 05/05/2007, 02:11 am

Got two. Both said May 1st. I thought something was up so I checked here.

taumel · 05/05/2007, 03:19 am

???

I'm confused as

a) I got two mails which had the date 1.5.2007, so i've checked my account but there is no e6 inside.
b) Shouldn't customers who bought the whole season get the game one week before those who buy it seperatly like it was handeled with the two seasons before? If so, shouldn't we have received it already?!

So what's the deal this time?

Regards,

taumel

This is really sad. If i won't go for season2 then that's the exact reason why...

Quote:

Shack: Do you forsee continuing on with GameTap after Season 1?

Dan Connors: I see it as very possible. They've been very positive so far. If it looks like it will stay a win-win deal, we'll stay with them. Now, there are other people out there who are interesting too, and the value of that exclusivity is something we'll be discussing with everybody.

I don't like to have those weird different releasedates again. No win situation for the customers. Well, it seems there always has to be a snag, even with people who do this business since some time... :O/

Rasher · 05/05/2007, 03:42 am

Come on guys. The release dates have been as promised and regular. Telltale haven't missed a beat all season. Season subscribers were never promised an earlier release. That was just a kind gesture from the good folks at Telltale.

Yes, the fact that Gametap customers get to play first is a slight anoyance, but so what? It is the Gametap deal that made this season possible and for that I am very greatful.
