A vanity publisher that has Alien Frontiers, Dragon Rage, Sirlin Games (Like Puzzle Strike, Flash Duel...)

What the fuck, Chuck? So, the only time I'm allowed to complain is if it's FFG mis-spelling something or if Wizards packs a bunch of warped tiles in a box? It's not remotely valid for me to complain about a publisher that is trying to control an entire market segment (Try finding Alien Frontiers or Puzzle Strike anywhere but on GameSalute.Com or in a FLGS) and is also doing the stupid like NOT telling customers until just before a product is to ship that it's not going to ship for months?

Yeah, I'm getting close to being done with this place. It turned into Fortress: Boardgamegeek in a hurry.

Unless Uba has locked the thread and handed out 7-day suspensions for all participants, that seems a little exaggerated.

On the plus side, knitting.com may be for sale.

Disagreeing is fine. Self-applauding yourself for packing a maximum amount of scatology and excessive obscenity in your comments is apparently less popular.

Sadly you weren't here from the beginning of F:AT, because we've all moved on from the "Wankers thread" days.

Who's applauding? I'm not.

I'm a little pissed that these dinguses aren't catching hell for it. It's one thing to not tell people things if you're some nobody, startup. But this is an established company, one who is already controversial, being douchebags.

For what it's worth, Game Salute has popped up over on TOS recently.

I knew they were doing back end logistics for small publishers, but was not aware of their distribution strategies. I suspect over time that publishers will bail once and if they get big enough. I see the appeal if a designer lacks publishing expertise, but it obviously has limitations.

As for Pete's issue, I'd agree that between GS and the KS creator they should have known better, but they're hardly the first publisher to screw up a prepub launch.

Not getting involved in thread devolution. Instead, echoing the "F*CK GAMESALUTE" sentiment - it took them roughly six months AFTER release to get my pre-ordered 1st ed. Puzzle Strike to me. Unacceptable.

A fella from GS did an interview last week with the On Board Games crew, they were accepting questions from listeners, so it should be a good interview. It should be posted early next week.

Pete, I value your opinion and I read nearly everything that you post. Not tryna be all Mother-Hen, but if you put half the effort into explicating your world-view and writing about boardgames as you do into writing creative ass-rape jokes...

Sometimes I just feel like your editorial alpha-shit, dick-joke, fuck-all machismo muddies the well-informed, impassioned commentary for which you're so good.

I don't know about Alpha, or machismo. I just think things are funny, some people don't. Sorry.

I'm done anyhow.
