I couldn't agree more - I've been trying to get a REFUND on Virtual Karts
and it's like pulling teeth. I think it's their parent company, Spectrum
Holobyte...

P.S. My answer to you is to NOT buy the new GP2 when it comes out...

Why do some silly folk say you can't do so with their messages?
GP2 is not a product of MicroProse. It's a product of Geoff Crammond.
So far Mr. Crammond has produced nothing but OUTSTANDING pieces of
software (Revs, Sentinel, Stunt Car Racer, F1GP).

You also may notice that companies that do let out information like release
dates etc and then somehow, something goes wrong and they are constantly
carped on by the 'paying customer'. Not only that, it must be bothersome to
get constant email from people telling them they KNOW what they need to do to
make their next release the best. Especially if they have finished programming
already!
I prefer to have info right out front as well, but if it ain't avialable, dont
resort to rumor! Because some snotty nosed kid with a t shirt of DOOM told
someone who told his girlfriend who told her *** lover that F1GP2 should
be out on such and such a day, does not mean it will. Officially, the date is
after the 15th of March. I can wait. It gives me time to save up too.
In other words, lay off them. If you want to get up someone's nose, try Origin
and EA. Their release dates are always wrong. But then again, I suppose their
consistent.
