Its Good News For You, So Do The Happy Dance

Post by David Heath »

Hi Everyone

As you know we made a few customers unhappy that we starting offering a printed manual version with the Game On Demand after the game went on sale. As Matrix always promises we listen to our customers. Not only because it good business but we are gamers too.

Now for the Good News.

If you ordered a Digitial Download version of FoF and you really want to add a Game On Demand w/manual you will be able to. Once the Game On Demand are available to ship we will allow customers to request a special promo code that will allow you to purchase the Game On Demand for $9.99 plus shipping.

If you already order either a Digital Download & Game On Demand or just a Game On Demand you are being shipped a printed manual.

The manual is b/w and not color for thoese that have asked. This option will only be available for a very limited time so order when its available since it will not be for long. I would also like to thank DR for working very closely with us on this.

Once this option is available we will post how the full procedure will work.

If you have any questions please post them here.

Those who need a new reason to criticize Matrix should focus on the fact that David Heath in telling you all to do the "Happy Dance" was evidently picturing you as Snoopy.

So... does this mean that I can stop waiting for the boxed version to go on sale, and buy the digital download now, safe in the assurance that in a few days, I'll be able to upgrade to the "full shebang"? Or is this an offer only open to those who have already purchased the digital download?

Just for those that ask if they should stop waiting. A little bird told me that the complet eboxed versions will now be available any day. So I personally would rather wait a little bit more.

not to be mean or anything, but from looking at your mug shot, I don't think anyone has every thought of you as Snoopy


a older Charlies Brown maybe

Note: I assumed you guys start working on hardcopys etc. at release, not two weeks later...my bad!

If you recall from my previous posts, at release we didn't know there would be hardcopies. For being the first to get printed manuals, FoF is paying a bit of a price in terms of additional delay on the physical copies, but we're going day to day right now and it shouldn't be long.

Regards,
