Re: Tuxgames
I also have ordered on their site, and send an e-mail without response since several days.
However I notice that their site has been updated this morning and now Dom3 is supposed to be "in stock" (previously it was still listed as "coming soon")
With luck this means that they probably ordered the game just after Annette said they didn't have (yet), and if so they should probably start shipping soon.
Hope is a wonderful thing , ... ^_^
I will post an update should I get any more information fro them (or if (when ?) I finally get the game from them)

Re: Tuxgames
I think they dont have a desire to gamble on pre-ordering copies. They list it and wait to see how much interest there is. They cant really afford to get stuck with junk inventory.

Re: Tuxgames
Thanks for the quick replies.
What you say seem reasonable Gandalf and Jack please do let me know if they contact or if/when you get the game.  |

Re: Tuxgames
This is making no sense. I can't understand this situation. How is that possible that the people who are running site -which was made to sell games online- just won't reply to e-mails.

Re: Tuxgames
Tuxgames always struck me as more of a labour of love than a business; more of a service to the community than an attempt at make money. Nobody in their right mind would expect to make money out of selling games for Linux, after all.

Re: Tuxgames
Agreed. Its more like a dedicated fan site than a corporation.
And, its a very needed site.
