Sucks to see this happen to Boomerjinks since he was my inspiration to begin the journey of building my own Jurassic Park jeep. Hopefully Tell Tale makes this right, they already are taking way too long to make that happen.

Did you take a look at their Jurassic Park game? It's a poor-man's Heavy Rain. And Heavy Rain on its own is already a game of very debatable qualities :lolJaseC said:TellTale refusing to foot the bill is a dick move, but the bigger surprise is that nobody has threatened to no longer buy their games.

He probably felt TellTale was trustworthy after his friend's experience.Last year they used a friends DeLorean at PAX, covering all costs and in addition to paying an amount that I won't disclose here.

It's stupid. Not that they can really put the genie in the bottle, but deleting the posts makes them look worse.FatalT said:Their response through deleting anything related to this incident on their forums and Facebook page is pathetic.
No one even contacted me to inform me that the Jeep had been picked up by the transport, I actually had to find this out when someone linked me to a picture on Reddit of my Jeep being towed backwards down the street, the tires grinding into the fender flares.
Was it being loaded onto the trailer at this point, or was it being fucking ROLLED AROUND LIKE THIS?
Goddamn company was paid for "enclosed transport," and this does not look like that.
Fucking hell, man. You can see the damage done to the paint near the rear stripe, as well as the chips on the side step. I'm never letting anyone ship my cars anywhere again.

Sure enough. Antioch University in the background is a full mile away from the convention center.
Fuck this, man.

It was being rolled around by a tow truck. We actually followed it several miles up the highway like this. Not to mention the very cavalier attitude the driver took towards navigating rush hour traffic...

Ouch.
Well, I guess it's a good thing that your vehicle is awesome enough that anyone who sees it snaps a picture of it. You even have photographic evidence and a witness you could contact if need be! If it was a more normal vehicle you would've never known.

Let me put it that way: I won't buy another game by Telltale until this matter is settled. Under normal circumstances I dislike boycotts, actually I think they are silly most of the time, but in the case of Telltale one of the reasons I keep buying many of their games is sympathy. I always thought of them as a sympathic company; as some nice guys.JaseC said:I dug up some old GAF threads and some people seemed to be looking forward to it, so my comment primarily refers to those who are interested in Telltake's future titles - of which JP is one.
SapientWolf said:I think Advance Car Carrier Corp should have to pay for the damages. They shouldn't slide if there is documented proof that it was their fault.
My understanding from the OP is that signing the Bill of Lading absolved the carrier of any legal responsibility (even though they were the ones directly responsible for the damage).SapientWolf said:I think Advance Car Carrier Corp should have to pay for the damages.

Aselith said:I don't think TellTale are aware that you can't afford to dick people around if you're a small company. I guess they're thinking they won't need to promote any games again with liveried cars?

This, however, isn't nice at all. And as long as they haven't paid for his repairs at least, I won't support them anymore.
