Original Article [Tue 6th Sep, 2022 16:30 BST]:

In what can solely be described as a veritable catastrophe, the sorry state of restricted print firm Dispatch Games has apparently reached its unhappy and inevitable conclusion.

As highlighted by Seafoam Gaming, who has been retaining a watchful eye on the sorry state of affairs, a posting from Tennessee state indicated that Dispatch Games is not any extra and that prospects ready for deliveries of bodily video games like Game Tengoku, Radirgy Swag, and Rail Sim merely will not get the video games they paid for regardless of Dispatch’s reassurances, most lately again in June.

Let’s recap first, although. Back in 2020, we ran a function on Dispatch Games’ lack of ability to meet pre-orders for its video games and the obvious lack of communication with prospects that adopted. Social media and direct contact channels have been met with utter silence from the corporate and followers have been understandably getting mighty annoyed with the state of affairs.

In the time since, Dispatch Games has made a number of makes an attempt to successfully reboot its operations, going as far as to dramatically proclaim “a brand new day” in a Twitter put up that has now, after all, been deleted, together with practically all of its prior communication. The firm did promise to ship out digital codes to these ready on pre-orders of Game Tengoku and it does appear that some individuals, at the least, did obtain these as deliberate.

Now, nevertheless, it seems to be like Dispatch Games has ceased to exist altogether, having been labelled ‘inactive’ by way of the Tennessee State web site as of August ninth, 2022, as a result of firm’s failure to pay administrative charges. This follows an analogous transfer by the California State again in October which equally labelled Dispatch Games as ‘suspended’. While the corporate might but exist in some minor capability, all indicators point out that it has successfully ceased operations and is now a defunct entity.

So what does this imply for purchasers ready for pre-orders or refunds? Well, sadly, likelihood is they most likely will not be getting both. We’ve reached out to Dispatch Games for touch upon the matter and can replace this text with any response or helpful info, however given the corporate has as soon as once more been radio silent since at the least June — following repeated situations of guarantees adopted by lengthy durations of nothing — we’re not hopeful.

The entire ordeal has confirmed a catastrophe for the corporate itself, however extra importantly for its expectant prospects. Hopefully, Dispatch Games can at the least present some kind of rationalization and justify its actions, or lack thereof.

Have you been affected by the enterprise practices of Dispatch Games? What do you suppose the corporate must do to set issues proper? Is that even attainable? Let us know.
