Well to be fair Blaze have nothing to do with that other than being the distributors and only in the UK I may add.

Are you serious about this email you've received?

Who said you could?

It's the claim of getting an email from the forum admin claiming the company will be in administration soon. If it's a false claim it's a lie, not an opinion.

Good, that means I can buy it somewhere else in the World, don't want to support those...guys...at all.

By the look of it, even one of their most loyal forum users has decided to pack it in and get a refund...But seriously, why not, their last update was supposed to be 'any time, possible even tonight'...over a week ago.
FFS, does anyone there know what they are doing?

[subzero]

its becoming clear that xpolderadmin at the moment just seems to be 'botting it', grabbing news stories gaming related off the net and bunging it on the forums, no one reads them though, their forum is being cluttered-it'll all be over soon!

[lemonjellydude]

well I finally called it a day last week and surprisingly the best customer service was recieved when I arranged a refund.
I had a fairly quick response and my refund was recieved very quickly.
I did also get an apology for the rudeness recieved as well, not that it was in anyway enough to keep me there. I am very glad to be off that journey now and I hope blaze learn from their mistakes. By still looking at their forum nothing has changed, still no update despite their it maybe tonight sarcy claims.
Its even more laughable seeing 7 reviews on amazon and amazingly 2 of those being 5 star's but Im pretty sure one of those was written by blaze themselves!
I'm actually now really enjoying retro emulation via my psp, which is a million times better than that shoddy piece of plastic called the gamegadget.
I think its safe to say the game is now up for the GG, there really cant be many people left supporting it and Blaze cant be making any money from it as they cant be making any money from the store as theres nothing on it.

[lemonjellydude]

That person was actually me!! I really was stunned by that reply and thats what prompted me to file for a refund.
I have been a GG owner from day 1 and it has really been the worst experience for me as a keen retro gamer and consumer.
Things were bad before and when they said they were handing the project to another team, I really thought well this could finally be it!! only to be told to p*** off by the people that run the forum.
Really shocked me how a company hoping to make money is quite happy to tell people to p*** off. I have never bought a product before to be told by the company themselves they want me to go elsewhere!! shocking!!
DO NOT BUY THIS!!!!!!!!!

You've been busy I see.

havent been on here awhile so catching up on some old posts, HA! yeah thats my review! and think it sums everything up nicely!
I also got mentioned on 2 blogs http://www.gamesasylum.com/2012/06/01/g ... -catch-up/
http://lionguardsolutions.blogspot.co.u ... adget.html
feels nice to be noticed! and the bad press is all that Blaze deserves!

[kiwimike]

Pleased you got an apology...that was deserved as well.

Sigh...I see that mod dude on the forum had been having fun with delete again. A stack of customers saying they've had enough and are going for refunds have been deleted-as has a post, ironically, stating a forum should have open discussion on the gg both good and bad, and by deleting all the bad it's unfair and unbalanced...deleted!
The audacity and arrogance of these guys is simply astounding. Which is why I keep updating this topic and referring as many gamers to it as possible, for the real picture.
Magazines- Hurry up and get those review updates going...!

[lemonjellydude]

I posted some constructive feedback on there and surprise the forum-Nazi's were again going delete crazy!! what a joke. I did read this amusing statement from the xploderteam:

"Hi All. Just got back from the Jubilee break.
should have some exciting news about content after E3 - We are seeing all the Major publishers at the E3 conference
The Application update will be available soon we have had to delay the release of this as we found some issues with the inbuilt e-commerce system not behaving quite right, but we are on the home straight and hope to have this all ironed out soon

Today I have Added Hexen and Heretic as requested elesewhere in the forum.

Keeping busy!!!! "

Again the same old lies about an update. The more hilarious thing is about them at E3!!! do they seriousily think they are going to get backed by anyone???

[AmigaJay]

I've just bought one!!
I've been promised they will send me an activation code so I can play some games in the next 12-24......months plus for an extra £29.99 I can download ANY 5 Megadrive games of my choice!! *

* as soon as they have got the Megadrive emulator up and running that is!
