I bloody well knew it - Brian Bagnell wants yet more time and more money

I bloody well knew it - Brian Bagnell wants yet more time and more money for the 'Commodore The Amiga Years' book. I feel that enough is enough. I want the book I paid up front for. If he he wants to follow it with an extended 20 volume extraveganza then fine, but give me the book I paid for - NOW!!!

Really really pissed off!!!:furious:

I am absolutely rock bottom skint, so now it would seem as if I will only get 'Commodore - The Amiga first 26 months'. Is that what I paid for, I think not. Kickstarter need to tighten up on things like this. I knew he was heading for this. I just bloody well knew it....

Exactly, I want what I paid for now. If it needs a revised, improved, deluxe or whatever you want to call it edition so be it, but after the original promise is kept. It's a bit like;

Salesman Bagnell: 'Sir, you know that car you have on order I'm sorry to say that we cannot supply it to the original specification you ordered but we can get it with a V8 and metallic paint".

Me: "Sounds great, when can I have it delivered?"

Salesman Bagnall: "Well if you could just wait another unspecified amount of time and pay an extra unspecified amount of money I will have it to you asap"

Me: "But what am I going to do for transport, you promised me my car before christmas and then early in 2017?"

Salesman Bagnell: "Don't worry, it will be such an improvement you wont regret waiting"

Me: "But I need my car I ordered"

Salesman Bagnell: "Oh, by the way, you will need a double garage for the second car"

Me: "Ahhhhggghhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!"

I didn't get an email, I went to the kickstarter site to find out the latest news and there it was.

Indeed, I am in touch with a lawyer to see what she thinks of the situation, I want my book as promised or my money back.

From Kickstarters site:
"Is a creator legally obligated to fulfill the promises of their project? Yes. Kickstarter's Terms of Use require creators to fulfill all  rewards of their project or refund any backer whose reward they do not  or cannot fulfill. (This  is what creators see before they launch.) We crafted these terms to  create a legal requirement for creators to follow through on their  projects, and to give backers a recourse if they don't. We hope that  backers will consider using this provision only in cases where they feel  that a creator has not made a good faith effort to complete the project  and fulfill."

Nice tolerant response. Is it unreasonable to get the book I paid for or my money back?

[BuBBoB]

Jesus don't mention Atari to Bagnell, he will extend the book to include that bloody story too....

What a croc of excrement! I get half the book I paid for years later than promised. I paid for the Commodore The Amiga years not from year x to year y.

Bagnal is a flacid penis.

Many apologies, I didn't realise I had broken the site rules. I have re-editied my post to remove profanity and threatening lanquage.

I have gone from being really excited about this project to openly hating Bagnell and all he stands for. All it has taken is several years of waiting and many broken promises. I have become so stressed out over this now that I wish I had never heard of The Amiga Years or Bagnell. What pleasure is left now, half the book I paid for with the promise of the complete story if I pay more? Will the final part ever be completed even? Do I still want to trust this man, at best he has mislead us, at worst he has openly lied about so much. If I could get my money back I would but I have to accept that is a lost cause.
I say don't trust Bagnell any longer, he is a liar who cannot be trusted. Assume the worst and hope for the best. If the books are finished within several years I will be pleasently suprised.

By the way, I am still waiting for my "Commodore - The Amiga years" book or as it is now to be named "Commodore - Half of the Amiga years"  from Brian !*##*!! Bagnall. The man is a suppurating turd of the highest order

Note: My last post was in May so I have been patient.
