It is funny that they talked all along about how they made a new engine from scratch yet in the end they blamed Unity, a pre-made engine, on their failures.

It is great to see that they had guts to apologize publicly... similar to what Apple did after the Apple maps fiasco.

I don't think they had much left to offer. Even this apology is an attempt at damage limitation. Their PR machine is clearly worried about the 505 brand rather than genuine remorse and regret.

Every attempt was made to fleece the public and 'Steamgate' was their last ditch attempt at that. As someone once said to me, 'If you are cornered then grovel or pick between the gun and rope'.

I have to say, Ashes 13 really has brought the PlanetCricket community together. Even the trolls stopped trolling... Brings a tear to ones eye

Is there any way those of us that didn't initially purchase 'Ashes Cricket 2013' will be able to get it now?

After seeing how bad it looked, I kind of wanted to play it...

Remember, remember the 28th of November...

Haha how appropriate!!!

Where's sami when we need him?

Sami, make a sonnet outta this!!

Thank goodness that sad little chapter in cricket gaming history is over.

How they can have mismanaged such a high profile licence is criminal. The apology is seemingly sincere but would not have been needed if they had used the light meters back in the middle of the year and seen that dark times were afoot. First time I've heard of a refund on a game though, so at least the apology was 'all that and more'.

Fingers crossed that BA are now in advanced negotiations with retailers and still have plans for a 2013 release. Maybe I can replay the match on DBC after we get 'tonked' again at the Adelaide Oval.

Well now that you've gotten that out of the way, you can focus on releasing DBC14, hopefully in a way that I can buy it in Japan.

In years to come owning this game will be seen as a sign of true hardcoreship.

It's hard to forgive when they still gave the green light to release this tripe less than a week ago. An apology was the least they could do.

Furthermore, we are yet to hear from the real people who need apologising: Trickster games.

You brought Trickstar to their knees to get your $20. Remind me not to piss you off.
