@somnambulance it isn't a Government mandate, the EU or UK haven't, as far as I'm aware banned the production of plastic toys.
McDonalds have taken the decision in some regions to simply not produce plastic toys following public backlash. In general they are now cardboard slot together sets, tinned card games, books or soft toys.
Also - McDonalds in the UK now have the McPlant, so you may get to experience fast food yet -though apparently the trial run in the USA ended in August 2022.
For those struggling to play the tracks, I noticed I had to close and open the game again, and a box came up stating it would connect to the internet to check if the user could play the DLC. The main button was start software, but you need to click Check
It’s not specifically gauging interest in the game though, this is a test to see if StartEngine (or similar) is a viable method of generating investment. This differs from other crowdfunding sites in that the perks aren’t the main offering, it’s receiving a return on investment, so they aren’t focusing on gamers, but investors, and while some are happy to put money in high risk startups, they will always want to put more cash in lower risk known entities such as this.
In the end, this is just another avenue for Atari to generate investment into their business. Previously this may have to have been done via shares or investment deals, this just makes it easier for them, similar to how fund raising used to be done via collecting tins, then direct debit and now JustGiving, the money comes in, just using today’s technology to change how it comes in.
Well put a new preorder in and now stating 3rd march. Odd system but have kept my details of the old order just in case this new one slips further than 9th march!
I'm not sure if Amazon is for launch. Mine is still listed as arriving on 9th march as I changed payment details. Surely if they had more stock in for launch, they would fulfill orders like that first?
