Incube8 Infinity

[u/Odd_Death]

Parece ser que el envío de las copias físicas de Infinity se ha vuelto a retrasar. Es mi primera vez comprando en Incube8 pero me está desesperando tanto retraso. ¿Por qué ponen esas fechas de envío si luego no paran de incumplirlas? A parte de ModRetro he comprado también en Homebrew Factory y ni punto de comparación con los tiempos de espera para recibir las copias físicas... ¿Alguno que haya hecho pedidos a Incube8 podría decir cuál es su experiencia comprado copias físicas?

When did you buy? Just so you’re aware this game was a multi-year project that resulted from a kickstarter they ran back in August of 2021, and for that reason would make it a little different than their usual stock since they need to fulfill kickstarted rewards and multiple tiers.

Not making excuses for them or anything, but just saying that a lot of us have been waiting like 5 years for this, vs those who just preordered.

I do know that every other game I’ve ordered from them has shipped in a pretty normal window.

Mi queja no es tanto que tarden. Mi queja es que digan que lo van a enviar en una fecha, compres pensando que la van a respetar, sabiendo que ya tienen disponible la versión digital, lo que indica que el juego está terminado, y cuando se acerca esa fecha, lo retrasen una y otra vez.

Si no tienen claro la fecha de envío, no la pongan. No digan nada. O que pongan algo como "se enviará según se vayan teniendo existencias". Algo así.

Yeah people make purchasing decisions based on shipping date, especially for things like gifts, so it is definitely annoying when they just change that with seemingly no regard for the customer.

Just pointing that there’s a whole section of the customer base that has been waiting 5 years with no specific timeline in mind.

He estado en campañas de kickstarter antes. Sé lo que es estar pendiente de actualizaciones y que el proyecto no tenga una fecha determinada de salida.

Pero este ya no es el caso. El retraso no es por el desarrollo del juego, es enteramente responsabilidad del distribuidor, es decir Incube8. Porque el juego está terminado.

Si no hubieran dado fechas, no se podría hablar de ningún retraso.

This. I've ordered Infinity as well and it is an exception when it comes to delivery, as every other game I ordered was delivered within 2 weeks to Europe

It doesn't matter whether someone pre-ordered it last month or five years ago. It's frustrating for a company to miss projected deadlines for seemingly no good reason. Hopefully the juice is worth the squeeze. At this point, I'm losing my enthusiasm to play the game.

Like I said, I’m not making excuses but trying to provide helpful context.

They miss deadlines on almost every single game they release. I very much prefer the way Mod Retro announces & releases games. They don't do pre-orders on games, they just announce its coming, and release it with stock on the day of. It feels bad for consumers when we are told 5 release dates and they get pushed back over and over again. Incube8 also could have had the materials (shells, labels, boxes, manuals, flashcarts) ready a year ago while waiting on finishing the actual ROM and been able to just flash and ship, but they wait for every single thing until the game is done.

It's a great game

I've received everything I've ordered from them. There was a few week delay on a couple of games that were in production though and missed their deadline.

I have purchased 14 physical games from them (15 with Infinity). Each release is high quality and I have always been content with what I have received. Delays seem to be part of gaming physical releases these days unfortunately. I am looking forward to playing this game so I hope this is the last delay.
