As stated by email, sorry to hear you're having this problem, I do hope this will get sorted out....
Quote: "Not the "Complete PC Setup" which was listed on the TGC prize page and the Nvidia Compo page ( http://www.nzone.co.uk/object/nzone_fpsc_contest_eu.html ), The components listed above aren't even the ones listed within Newsletter 51. So where is the Intel Quad Core CPU ?
After sending a series of emails to Rick vanner, requesting answers as to where my prize has gone, it appears there is nothing TGC can do and that Nvidia have indeed delivered the correct prizes.
Although I have been offered compensation in the predicted form of TGC software, I still feel outraged at this injustice."
I still fail to see how anyone, be it TGC or nVidia can claim you did get the correct price. nVidia did not deliver the price that was promised at all. Newsletter 49
http://www.thegamecreators.com/data/newsletter/newsletter_issue_49.html clearly states what the firts price would be:
Quote: "Thank you to everyone who entered the FPS Creator part of the NVIDIA Game Dev Competition. We received a good number of entries, some of which are works of sheer art! While internally TGC have judged and rated every game, we now need the guys over at NVIDIA to do the same. Sadly this means we cannot bring you the results this issue as we had planned, but we will announce them shortly (NVIDIA estimate within the next 2 weeks).
On the plus side, we CAN announce the base specs of the PC that the 1st place winner will get:
Intel Quad Core Processor
Intel Motherboard based on the 680i SLI Chipset
BFG 8800 GTX DirectX10 graphics card "
TGC is talking about the base specs of the pc that the first price winner will get, so their talking about a complete pc.
Looking at what you did get:
- Intel Core 2 Duo processor
- Geforce 8800 GTS OC graphics card
- Asus P5NT WS Motherboard
and what was promised as the base specs of the pc:
-Intel Quad Core Processor
-Intel Motherboard based on the 680i SLI Chipset
-BFG 8800 GTX DirectX10 graphics card
All I can say is that you sure didn't get what was promised, not even close to it.... less cpu, less motherboard and less gfx card, someone decided to go cheap, instead of keeping a promise. I don't see how TGC can even say that nVidia delivered the correct prices....
You should simply get what was promised and I would say let's all get in contact with both TGC and nVidia, since they both failed to deliver what was promised and they rather cover up things, then come out into the open. Perhaps the partnership is gettin in the way from doing this?
Next time choose ATI, they give what has been promised and often even better, I know that from experience.
