I'm just wondering when the backers get the t-shirts and other backer things. Is there a shipping date?

Goods are still being produced, so will be a whle longer.  

Ok, thanks for the reply. :)

I actually hope that you will wait until all the promissed features are included and at least the biggest bugs are fixed before you put it on the disc, so that I don't have to download most of the game files anyway right after installing it.

Agreed with Chris's plan. Level Editor with tutorials (when ready) could also be included in the disc.

I can wait, it's ok. It's -8 celsius anyways, taking a walk outside wearing just a tshirt would be a freezy experience anyways.  XD

Oh! I nearly forgot about the boxed version. But I agree, it would be better to get a later version of the game on disc.

It's almost 6 months since I started this thread. Is there any info about the T-shirt and other things?

From the latest Kickstarter update(quoted from another thread on this forum).

Should still be on the way, but no specifics on when that will be. That's about it. 

You know the game is dead right? There´s noone left in the company except Thomas Lund. In fact the company is dead also. Thomas Lund also stated that this forum isn´t important enough (not enough people) to look at or to reply to. That was his statement when he was asked why important news are only presented on the kickstarter page. I guess you can forget about your t-shirts. No shipping or anything else takes more than half a year.

Well, everyone that backed was aware of the risk that the game might be rubbish and that our money goes down the drain, but I don't think that FC / Thomas Lund should get away with not delivering physical goods that were promised. Not that I really need my boxed version of the game anymore but I think it's a matter of principle and what I paid for in part.

Seeing that the game is finished (literally and figuratively) and it's been seven month there is no particular reason to not send out the goods. As Glettkin said, that normally doesn't take that long. I wonder whether the delay is part of some tactic that says "I hope the backers forget about it..."

Or is it "I want to honour my side of the deal, I just need to raise enough cash through Space Hulk sales to do it"?

The former would be fraud, the latter would be bad management, at the very least. How much time should backers give Thomas Lund before some legal action is due?

What legal action? You have no chance to get sth. if they are done

There is no "legal action". The things are promised, but unfortuately if the promises are broken, then we are just f.cked. Kickstarters are like political campaigns, we get promises, then who gets the donation keeps the promises or not. There are multiple stories about successful campaigns, where the people just grabbed the money and ran, or they started the promised projects, but they cancelled it w/o paying the money back to the people.

I trust them to send us these things one time. When i don't know

From the Kickstarter website, on funding, first thing it says:

https://www.kickstarter.com/help/handbook/funding

"Kickstarter uses an all-or-nothing funding model. If your project doesn’t meet its funding goal, no money changes hands. This is great for creators because it minimizes risk. Meeting your goal ensures that you’ll have the funds you need to complete your project and deliver rewards to your backers.

Your funding goal should be the minimum amount needed to complete the project and fulfill rewards."

Again:
"Your funding goal should be the minimum amount needed to complete the project and fulfill rewards."

Once more:
"Your funding goal should be the minimum amount needed to complete the project and fulfill rewards."

It looks like they used the money they were supposed to have aside for rewards on their salaries instead, which is a violation of the kickstarter rules.

I'd consider writing some letters if I was a backer and fell for this honeytrap.
 

12 Successful Kickstarters That Never Delivered

I hope we get our physical rewards... eventually!

I think - at least by EU law - that this is a very clear case from a legal point of view. People gave FC money to make a game plus some physical stuff (box, t-shirts etc.). Their project was successfully funded on Kickstarter, which means they have a binding contract with the backers to deliver a game and the physical goods. They delivered the game, albeit sub-par, and there is no reason to not deliver the physical rewards - the quality of the game has nothing to do with that. Also, FC is still in business and thus a legal entity which still has a contract with numerous JAF backers.

As people have pointed out before, backing a game is a risk everyone is aware of. Receiving physical goods you paid for, shouldn't be.

Going after FC for failing to honour their side of the deal is dead easy, I would say. Many people in Europe have legal insurance, so it wouldn't cost them a cent to hire a lawyer, just a bit of time to explain the case.

I don't know, but it would take like 5 mins to check to forum once a week and let us know about what's going on with those t-shirts, disks, etc. :(

Yes, any way to contact Thomas?  I don't even care about the T-shirt (I literally told them I don't want it), it's more about a point of principle on honoring a contract.  I am interested to get the other physical goods I guess as a keepsake.

Shouldn't be too difficult. Sent a Kickstarter message, email to him or use this contact form. Thomas' direct email address is given on that page too. It's been working in the past. If you get a reply, let us know how things are going and is fulfilling the rest/any of items still within plans. Plus any real estimations when.

New Kickstarter update:
"As said earlier, and I'll reiterate it - the physical goods will be honored. So any discussions there can end."

The rest sounds to me like it will be a couple more months, but we will get them eventually, so you can stop speculating and threatening (although I am sure someone will keep doing both of those).

Is that update actually any different from what we have been told all along though?
I read that as they just want people to stop asking them or, to stop talking about it.

I emailed Thomas almost three weeks ago (June 6th) asking if there was any news about physical rewards, or if he has any comment. No responce though.
I completely agree that it shouldnt be this difficult to get a reply but unfortunatly it is.

Maybe thats the point though, if more time passes then I'm sure even the remaining few of us will eventually lose interest.

I guess that was his response. Yes, imho he should have answered you directly as well, if you asked, but apparently he chose to make an official statement about it instead. Maybe he was waiting for a responce by bC's lawyers and didn't answer earlier because of that.
One new thing was that the bitComposer lawyers agreed to keep bC's word on taking care of EMEA after all. No idea what that means for the timeline, though. Apart from that, what else do you want him to say if he obviously doesn't know any specifics about when we will get the stuff? Do you want him to lie, say that we'll get it in a month and then make that another month etc?
