You would think that if they weren't going to be allowed to sell it that it would be illegal for them to start taking people's money. What's up with the legal issues behind all this?

One legal issue would be whether or not they have a distribution agreement with Matrix. :-)

So, for this game being released today, is it really being marketed to 6 year olds running Windows 95? [:'(]

Seriously, I am still looking forward to this game whenever it does get finished and released. Do what it takes to make it right.

The amazon link now says the game is not in stock or has been discontinued[:@]. You guys better not drop the game at this point. or else.

Can't wait for the release, summer vacation is almost over and I'm doubting I'll be playing any this summer.............

Yes, they are already out of stock. Seems they were selling like hot pancakes and MG couldn't keep up with the distribution fast enough....

Or, maybe this thread is a good example of why never to trust anything Amazon ever says...

Amazon does not charge your card until the item ships. Doesn't matter if it's a pre-order or back-ordered stock, they don't take your money until the product is out the door.

Well, I'm new to this forum. I played EIA when I was in college 10 years ago and became delighted to learn its interest is alive and well! I can't wait for this game and continue the good work! I'll trade time for quality any day!
I have enemy all around me...how can I keep all of them closer than my friends?
