Another Mythic Sham
We have all seen the news today that Mythic sold off Anastyr and Hell, we also all know they have been "stuck" on July 22, 2022 (only reached 5am CET in a year and a half). I myself am impacted with a Darkest dungeon pledge and all in 6:Siege.
What isn't so well known is in March 2022 they opened web (pre-orders) for a Solomon Kane reprint, where I pledged an all in, and paid shipping and VAT too. This was supposed to Ship May 2022 since they had all the expansions in stock and only needed to reprint the base game.

I reached out around Oct-Nov 2022 requesting an update when this will be shipped, with no answer into the new year (I also requested my refunds here for DD and 6Siege due to lack of response etc.)
On Dec 9th Monolith acquired the remaining stock of Solomon Kane and bought the IP from Mythic.

When acquiring the IP and buying the stock, they signed a contract with a clause that all Pre-orders need to be refunded or get store credit, confirmed today as per Monolith:
Today - FIgured I mail Monolith to see if I can get a base game like CMON is offering https://preview.redd.it/o0cixx8xl0fc1.png?width=732&format=png&auto=webp&s=6046d71435b38a29f25a274c689b3c236c923978
Yet Mythic games tell me in writing that they are still talking with Monolith to "figure out" what to do with pre-orders, and if they need to cancel the pre-orders they will tell the people and issue a refund. This is a web order, completely loose from Kickstarter etc, even already paid goddamn VAT on it.

Not only is this a complete lie, as you can see by Monolith's response, They also changed the shipping date from May 2022 to Q1-Q2 2023, they have since completely removed SK from their website, so, unfortunately, I don't have a screenshot of this.
I have repeatedly emailed for updates to Mythic (both about SK and my DD/6Siege refunds), about 1 mail a month. When I do get a reply (1ce or 2ce a year at his point) They completely ignore my question about SK and give the same canny response everyone gets "We are still on July 22, 2022"
At this point im quite at a loss, even if somehow I get store funds (1500-2000 from all my pledges), what am I even gonna buy, Darkest Dungeon? The game they refuse to ship to me to begin with?
Can't go through Credit Card either because you need to do it within 6 months of Purchase. Can't get a lawyer under EU laws because a lawyer costs more than the games are worth, or will take years before you see money back.
In any case, thought I'd share this story too, since only very few are impacted and this is not well known. Back safe out there!
