Im sure this has caused TGC to stop stocking the products and so they have to order it in and get it prepared."
He bought the downloadable versions so that doesn't relate to him at all lol. Not that you would have known, but even so I highly doubt that be the case anyways.

There's nothing wrong with drag n drop game makers. They are entirely for a hobby. Sure you will never create something as great as you would by programming but from my experience, drag n drop is far less frustrating and requires far less patience. I'm sure people will argue that but generally the only time I hear people complain about game design is when they complain about some line of code not working that they spend hours trying to fix. Sometimes, for the newbie hobbyist, drag n drop is just easier and more fun.

I honestly don't agree in the slightest. If I paid for a
downloadable version of anything and haven't been able to download it in ten days, I'd be furious... Especially even more so when the company responds only by saying, "Please wait, you have not been forgotten." I understand they are entirely manual, but it shouldn't take this long. If it's an error in the ordering, that's understandable, but I'd still be pretty ticked. When I bought FPSC years ago, I received a CD copy of it in seven days and I live in America. If they can ship a CD halfway across the world in a week, I'm pretty sure they could get a download link sent to someone in a week too.
I'm also incredibly impatient and I definitely would have asked for a refund by now. Seriously though, I'm horribly impatient. I don't want to wait for anything. But I put part of that blame due to living in California because it's stupid fast paced out here.

Have a nice day
