DavidGX on September 30, 2008 10:40 pm So.. what about actually FIXING some things? I’m owed one achievement and my friend who I played CO-OP with is owed two that we never got, although earned… multiple times. That, aside from MANY other glitches should be fixed before anything else is even considered. Ed at Pandemic on October 20, 2008 12:53 pm Sorry about the delay guys, but get used to it. Ha HA Ha HA Ha We got your money suckers! Screw your update, we’re keepng it! That’s what you get for not renting before you buy. BTW, Buy LoTR! I need a new yacht.
