I don't think it is fair to have ordered anything not got it then
spend more cash to get a program you hadn't got in the first place.
I'd rather crack it or bale alltogether on it if a dev decided to
charge for this.
We are still living with the curse of the overdue preorder <sigh>
I'd preorder stuff just before it would come out maybe but still.
In this case though I think that unless tom bales on everyone and
gives them the cash, he will just have to absorb the cost after all
its not the customer's fault all the stuff happened ages ago.
Its an utter bastard I know, but its the way it is and we learned a
lot of lessons since that drama so it was probably worth the trouble
at least I'd like to think so.
But I know what it feels like, there was a sertain game made by a
sertain person I tested and got for free because I helped testing it.
I didn't pay for it and so I am not to angry if I had to buy the game
again since I never brought it in the first place.
However because of modern systems and other licence issues I can't
play the game.
And I could potentually start a flame war at the person in question
but I never payed for it and so I won't.
However if I payed for it I would have got my cash back and flamed my
way off this list or just flamed so yeah I know.
on a side note it appears that anyone will preorder for as little as
bragging rights.
A cousin of mine is getting games with the xbox 1 as a preordered
pack just to have the bragging rights to getting them

Speaking of unreleased game titles such as Raceway, the problem is
that people preordered years ago, and now, newer operating systems
won't run the games that were preordered. Let's say that XP was
required when you ordered the game. Now, you are running Windows
9.0, which will not handle the game that you have not received
yet. Could this be a solution? When you download the game, be sure
to download the one for your platform. Then again, Tom would have
to develop more than one game. A heck of a lot more work for Tom,
satisfied customers, maybe? The only stipulation would be that if
you have gotten the version for XP and are using it, you would have
to pay a fee for the upgrade that would run on Windows 9. I would
imagine this could get messy, keeping track to determine whether
Frank Jones, whoever he is, has already been using the game for a
now outdated OS, but is this a possibility?
