Hi & thanks from Digital Eel

[Slordax]

Hey guys

First, sorry this update is so late. We've been waiting and checking the status of the game too. Don't be hard on Shrapnel. It costs a lot, thousands of dollars, to manufacture a boardgame like EED and when that expense is out of pocket just the events of life can prevent you from having enough money and doing some of the things you'd like to do!

This may have been mentioned before, but the main thing is that no one wanted to release a so-so version of the game. EED is worth a bit of production so waiting for the right time was a necessity --if EED was going to be a thing of worth and quality. And no less, say both Shrapnel Games and Digital Eel.

So for practical reasons EED is currently shelved. Meanwhile other plans are afoot so watch the Digital Eel site for further announcements (and there's new boardgame stuff there too). We've got a couple of neat new projects going so hang tight for a while and stay in touch.

Thanks so much for your support and enthusiasm, everyone & happy gaming!

Many thanks for the reaction! It sucks that it had to be shelved. Good luck with all the other games.

I'm still trying to get a refund from Shrapnel for my pre-order of the game in 2007. No luck so far, and the last message I sent through customer support a few days ago was answered with a copy of my order my 2007, saying that it had been completed (I ordered it with 2 other games, which I did get), but no mention of a refund. It seems that they didn't even read the message.

Now that you have officially cancelled the Eat Electric Death game,
http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/showthread.php?t=49156
can I finally have a refund for pre-ordering it?
I paid $32.95 + P&H on Dec 12, 2007, and I have called a couple of years ago about it and was told that the game would be coming out. I want my money back (plus postage). See the attachment for a copy of my proof of purchase invoice. I no longer have that credit card, so please send the refund to me at the following address:
Judith Krauss, ****

BTW, to be clear, my credit card was charged for for the full $110.66 when I placed the order, and a refund was never given.

RESOLVED
I can't figure out how to edit my posts, so I am adding another to say that the refund has arrived, and that I am satisfied, so please ignore the above posts.
