you have to remember that yours just like others that have pre paid for those two games, was under a different company. that company made a point to do things like that, and all it got them was bad news and grief. now under a new company. They have to be given time to redo what don't work and parts that where never given, but sold as is. Taking a game from an as is state to playable out the door. Takes time. I still say under Tom. Those games will come out and might even be better then what was given. he already took a game that was intended to be sold up for free. Not sure if he meant to do it that way, but it does show he wants people to see that he does do something, and puts out to show it. With all that he has got going in his life and the lose of code, and yet he still gives something up. Don't that alone speak for him?
