I am so sick of these big companies. Larry Harris doesnt give a darn!! Hey, if I invented a game I would visit sites like these all the time to check on my gamers to see what they want. Its sad that I seem to visit this site more than Larry Harris himeself does (if he does at all). All people have been talking about is how they would love to see pics of the new game being released next month. Dont these companies give a crap??? We are their audience who is gonna buy their game for Christ sakes!!!
Not to mention they release a mega version that sells out and only produce 2000 copies of it, WTF!!! I could see if it didnt sell but damn, it was a big hit!!! Who the hell is in charge of those decisions, the same guy that ran AIG!!! You go on the Avalon Hill website……nothing!! You go on Larry harris’s page…nothing!! You google the darn game…nothing!!!
It seems they just collect their paychecks and release their games taking it for granted we will buy it, and of course we will but where is the customer service. They should be promoting this game as if they want us to buy it instead of acting like they are doing us a big favor by selling it to us. They are the lucky ones!!! We save them millions because they spend exactly zero dollars promoting it and it will still sell because of us hardcore fans. Even HUGE video games like Madden football which is a guaranteed million seller spends all kinds of money months in advance with commercials, big cardboard signs in gamestop, blockbuster, ect ect. THEY probably dont have to but they at least want people to know and build a buzz about it.
They didnt release information on how few AA50’s were produced but we all found out in a hurry when 5 months after release it was going for 300 on ebay!! No information if it will be re-released, just rumors (they could clear this up in 1 second if they bothered). No pics of the new game being release in about 2 weeks (unheard of).
Im sorry, but they just are not treating us right and I am getting sick of it. Im gonna bite the bullet and buy AA50 for $300 on e-bay :x :x but that is it. Im never buying another Axis and Allies again. I have enough awesome house rules to fix the stupid broken rules and enough pieces with AA50 and my other games to last a lifetime. They lost me forever with any new thing they may release. They can shove their new game up their behind.
