FreeDo's Febuary release?

Post by XDelusion »

So we sat in the FreeDO page forums for a couple months straight, anxious for the release that was supposed to come last month...

...now there is a total lack of updates on there web page, and there forums are now down.

Anyone have any idea why these guys seem obsessed with making bogus release date after bogus release date?
They pulled this about a month ago, and now again. Sad to see.

yea, but it happens pretty much consistantly with most everything they announce.

That and the fact that I think they said it was done this time, and that they were just saving it for the anniversary date for release.

I have to agree, i rather gave up on this DC release.There is NO reason what so ever for him to close the forums down. If ANYTHING, he could have posted that it was delayed again, and that something was wrong.

This guy by no means is being professional about this.

Hey there page is updated. Now they tell us that the forums are down (no really). Then they tell us that they are fixing them, but then have to fix there file share servers, which means they ain't going to have a release this year more than likely.

If it were an emulator for any other older system (aside of the CDi maybe) I'd not care so much, but this is 3DO and they keep building our hopes up over and over just to lie to us. As if that many unpredictable events can truely happen every time you are about to make a release.

As for Goodwill. Yes that store was supposed to be for people with little cash, now half the stuff is literally more expensive than when new.
Like the Church, State, and Green Peace, they've turned the way of money. :/

One more lie after another with them.I KNEW this wasn't going to happen.From there lack of updates, and being shady all the time, i knew this was too good to be true.unless he plans on releasing this soon, he's going to have a lot of people in the dc emulation scene pissed off. excuse my language, but this really is bullshit.i'm sick of them lying to us, and getting our hopes up for nothing.they have lost my respect.
