That's right. Then how do foreigners buy it?????
If they can't buy it, they can't get it~!!!

Buddy. I think you need a better translation tool.
You can still GB. Just elsewhere. Good or bad? That's for you to decide.

Thanks for the information...
But it's very so sad to hear that I have to buy it from another GB...

Also -- and this will be my last comment on this -- but very strange that after being so transparent these last few months this is kinda sprung on us without any preface, polling and/or input from the community.

Its quite clear here, its not a favourable move, i cant odds that. all i can do is assure people that there will be no issues with this going forward.

I cant respond to everyone's criticisms, its yours/their opinions, id just say allow it to play out, if your not intereted thats absoutley fine.

As for the no poll/ input from the community, I've been here to answer any questions, been transparent on everything regarding peoples purchases, I'm not going to discuss internal business decisions on an open forum.

I respect your views and that you don't wish to purchase any further releases , if i can change your mind and assure things work out then feel free to drop me a dm at any time.

Again, thank you for supporting Annihilation and your patience towards it as a whole.

I appreciate that maybe your stance, its a shame though. I can assure you things will be completely different, specifically with how the GBs are run over there for AC releases. This is a logistics thing and will work for the better in the long run.

I understand it wont be good news for all but I'm hoping that some can at least give it a chance. I appreciate your support none the less on the previous releases though , thank you.

Hi, is there any update for the XL edition? Its been one month since you first posted the video about the S&S saying XL is soon. I am disappointed by the news of the "plans" for future release is coming before any news of current release is being completed.. I ordered S&S edition from GB, and unfortunately my S&S wont be shipped until XL is ready. To be honest I am disappointed watching other people getting theirs and my order is stuck with XL that has nothing to do with me, but I digress. Seeing update on the "future", when the "now" is not even finished just triggered me a little. Just needed to vent a little bit. Any update on the XL would be great. Thanks.

However,
Can't foreigners purchase it on the official website????
I don't want to participate in the group forum.

And the fact that people here have been used to help with this release too in many aspects and HDN as a whole has been a huge gauge for him. Not saying to stay inclusive here but to then decide to go to a super inclusive inbred site where you have to pay for the GBs is absolutely backward madness thinking especially as there’s members outside the U.K. who won’t want to join their site. And he’ll loose U.K. customers purely on the announcement of that partnership lol. And in the same message it mentions working on something exclusively for them (probably bootleg) Blows my mind. But maybe he’ll learn the hard way. Who knows. What an absolute shame for buyers outside the U.K.

A lot of people here will stay quiet until annihilation is fully shipped but you can hear the silence

I've had 1 experience with MP and it was the worst. Any forums that charge you is a no from me. Hopefully get access to future steels directly on your site but sucks for anyone outside the UK.

i better post my comment *after* i got my gb copy

I am in the fortunate position I don't need to wait to do so.

I'll choose my words carefully though so not to offend

Spoiler: ...

F**k that loony-bin gimpazoid power mad spoiling-everyone's-fun-all-because-he-has-tiny-winky-syndrome rat boy JOHN @ MP. Hard. In his ass. Proper melted slice of sh*t that dude pulling this stunt. Knows full well what he is doing and why. Well f your monopolosation tactics ya absolute fairy-winged biscuit-brain disrespectful a hole.

Oh and "carefully"...

There will be no "charge" to join the forum to purchase an AC release. The pricing will be transparent up front and you wont need to be a member to purchase one. It would be no different then using other GB hosts.

The problem is that if you buy it on the forum, it costs about 30 to 40 dollars extra. That's the problem.

 

[TheWildEye]

I thought there was a retail release for the next JAX title?
A forum GB exclusivity handshake seems on the odd side, or maybe its a snap decision due to the stress of Annihilation being such a major home run?
Whilst I fully get that shipping distribution logistics is no doubt, a rare and painful task to swallow as a solo creative in the global market, surely there might have been other avenues to approach the problem?
Personally, ive had nothing but a complicated relationship with MP, for no reason other than trying to be a commited and inclusive voice in their community. To be honest. That site is...well ...weird & (no other word here) difficult.

The costing hasn't been finalised yet but it would still cost more direct then it would via this route going forward for you if you are overseas.

No details have been mentioned, there a lot of ideas people have come up with , without knowing any detail, just becuase they dont like or have had bad experiences in the past.

I have complete control on what will occur and im in direct comunication.

Does that mean they won’t be given priority? Because they have a lot of platinum members. Also are you upping the allocation on your site especially for OC, if I remember correctly you had a really small amount.

 

[larson1977]

The extra costs charged 'over there' made me bail out to never look back. Sometimes doubled the shipping costs due to all shady reasons/excuses. Shame I have to leave it with 2 AC releases but it is what it is...

There is a retail release? I don't follow, sorry .

 

[Bungral]

You live in the uk ? you would just purchase via the website as usual?

Will there be more allocation for the website than there was for Annihilation then?

Wasn’t really very easy getting anything from the site for that but I guess that included international buyers still too.

 

[AstroC13]

Does that mean they won’t be given priority? Because they have a lot of platinum members. Also are you upping the allocation on your site especially for OC, if I remember correctly you had a really small amount.

That's correct. Everyone will be given the opportunity to purchase an AC release, you will not need to be a paying member.

I am, that's correct. UK will have a large allocation of all editions.

 

[TheWildEye]

There is a retail release? I don't follow, sorry .

You mentioned way back that your next release would be steelbook only and in online stores. Hinting that it'd be Breakdown.
Im sure that was the case?

Anyone please correct me

 

[Flloydo]

You said a while back that titles might be sold at retailers like HMV

This & Breakdown was the hint, no?
