So, I was sitting around drooling over 'Return of the Shakturi' when it hit me! There were no pre-order options. How come?

I don't know...they said the game would come out before Christmas, and if I had to guess I would say that it will come out some time next week. A pre-order should have been done right after they announced they were working on it IMHO.

We don't do pre-orders in general, because we prefer to take your money once we can give you something in return. Software development is never 100% predictable.
We are indeed aiming for a release by the end of next week. Hopefully that will happen. Right now things are still looking good as far as that schedule goes.

I actually prefer the Matrix policy on orders. No paying for something then getting a refund when it falls through. If you buy it here, it is already released.

Que?
El doctor Apostle dicho que el había jugando demasiado Distant Worlds y ahora no se puede diferenciar el sueno a la realidad.
(
As a consequence of playing way to much Distant Worlds some people may encounter troubles to seperate their dreams from reality.)
c'mon DrApostle am I right?
