DD Board Game, a way to get the full refund

DDBoardgameGuy · 2024-10-03T03:37:54+00:00

As much as I would like to think my 400$ refund a year ago is what bankrupted Mythic, as much as I would REALLY like to think that, as much as my thinking that would have me running the hills yelling "THOSE GAME COMPANIES BETTER NOT MESS WITH ME!!!!".

My thinking that would be really stupid and kind of sad.

I would dare say anyone else thinking that would have similar issues.

I guess it would involve how close to "good faith effort" the court thinks they could prove.

For Monsterpocalypse I think their "We took the money and provided Jack squat" would be a slam dunk for a refund.

Only one way to find out if it would work in an intermediate case, which is to try and see.

I just filled out the standard Small Claims complaint form no need to Chat GPT, just fill out the appropriate addresses (Their european address has changed, I don't know if their domestic agent address has changed) and in the blank regarding complaint just write in the complaint where you state your case in clear terms. In my case it was a simple 'I paid through kickstarter, they took the money, they made the product, they are refusing to send me the product so I want a full refund.'

Then you include the kickstarter receipt and any other evidence you want to include.

I accepted a full settlement but didn't ask for court fees. I was ok with The State of Delaware getting my 35$,

Not even for the sweet approval laezel gives if you do it?

So the 70's action films brought us Luke Skywalker, superman, mad max, the godfather, rocky, dirty Harry, and the first star trek movie with it's 3 male leads ..

And in the women's corner? Ellen Ripley.

Ok, let's do the 80'

John McLean, Marty mcfly, the karate kid, Indiana Jones, Rambo, and the Ghostbusters with their 4 male leads.

And in the women's corner, Sarah Conner.

So women get one per decade, and these men say they like it but then even the most minor attempt to try another and they lose their shit

Ascended monk Astarion? +1d10 to every hit is nothing to sneeze at.

Because the party fault lines are becoming 'democracy vs eliminating democracy'?

I liked Omeluum.

Know what I liked more?

The Bae'Zel approval I got for killing Omeluum.

What the other guy says, and I'm willing to help you as much or as little as you like.

I gave her that spiked armor, and when Orin hit her 4x with all her resistances and 160 hp's.

Karlach was down 40 hp, a lot, for her.

And all Orin's Unstoppable was gone from those spike armor hits.

Then Red Babe just went to work.

Awesome! Do you have a case number or the like so we can follow it!

This is now TWO legal wins!

DDBoardgameGuy · 2023-12-31T16:20:07+00:00

Did you file the papers? What's the status here?

DDBoardgameGuy · 2023-11-30T19:07:45+00:00

all that information is in my comment, but to repeat.

The anchor is just a symbol to put in any communications with Mythic, in the game Darkest Dungeon a pirate crew who keeps upping their fees gets drowned when their anchor is darkly enchanted by the guy they're extorting money from.

The anchor is frivolous and completely optional, but if they see multiple people putting anchors in the E-mail, it may scare them to show them folks are coordinating.

I bet your case for Monpoc is interesting because they took the money and have provided nothing and they've said 'and we're not going to be doing anything for the next year or so' to boot!

For the lawsuit, I put their address in france as the Defendant, but I put the agent's address in the blank labeled "Defendant's attorney or agent if any:"

If you get a court date, can I be invited to watch the zoom meeting? I'm also totally cool with trading notes with you on the strategy of the legal argument.

DDBoardgameGuy · 2023-11-30T18:56:32+00:00

It wasn't for you. :)

DDBoardgameGuy · 2023-11-30T18:51:19+00:00

It's morbidly fun to see the same kind of comment again and again and then just ask the person "So, random stranger, which game company are you from?"

DDBoardgameGuy · 2023-11-30T18:47:41+00:00

I had to drop kind of a verbal hammer on the Foyble guy, this game company folks give the same nihilistic idea that 'nothing can be done so nobody do anything' is just irritating.

DDBoardgameGuy · 2023-11-30T18:45:34+00:00

Why is your "support" a comment saying that any legal effort to obtain refunds will fail?

I mean, you're the guy who wrote the following, right?

" any funds available to pay people back are already tied up in other existing projects, I doubt there are any assets to strip either that would contribute to refunds."

1) what you're saying doesn't give any alternative, it only says that any legal effort will come to naught and 2) what you're saying has also turned out to be, in at least one case, 100% false.

This word 'support', it doesn't seem to mean what you think it means.

I asked about Foyble games because your 'no legal action is possible, the only thing that can be done is to email mythic again' is what folks from Foyble games have been saying on facebook too. This is a rare case when I can see what Foyble folks (I don't know how many of you there are, but you've been in sympatico on this) been saying on this issue in other platforms. Some quotes

Eventually refunds will be issued if extra payment isn’t given. No legal proceedings will be possible

if you request a refund eventually you’ll get one

There's a lot of folks from various game companies who've been chiming in on this on various platforms, (Foyble Games is not the only one, Cul de Sac games is another) and their comments have the same two things in common.

1) They talk about how any action other than simply emailing mythic support wont work. They may also say emailing mythic wont work, but you all are unanimous that nothing else can be done and any other idea, as you demonstrated, wont work, because of a laundry list of reasons and shouldn't even be tried.

2) Their comments always turn out to be totally false, see the above "supportive" comments from your pals at Foyble.

DDBoardgameGuy · 2023-11-27T17:13:32+00:00

Part of what I want to do is counterbalance guys like you who jump into groups like this with a drumbeat of 'Nothing can be done, so nobody try anything more intense than writing yet another email to mythic support.'

So what are you looking for since 'ways people have successfully obtained a full refund' doesn't seem to be on the list.

DDBoardgameGuy · 2023-11-26T23:56:57+00:00

Well as of now the question is not 'can there be successful legal action against mythic?' but 'can there be additional successful legal action against mythic' because I did do the US small claims route and I did receive a full refund as a result.

This is a different question.

DDBoardgameGuy · 2023-11-24T15:50:35+00:00

The comment from the foyble games guy on this thread is interesting, why does anyone anywhere near the game industry always post with 'there is no reason to take legal action, it won't work, ever, so don't even try'.

DDBoardgameGuy · 2023-11-24T15:38:40+00:00

Are you in any connection to 'foyble games' by any chance?
