The plot thickens, Steven just posted on RG but not in response to Pixel Nation, he is trying to sell his Wii U

Hmm, I've yet to receive a reply from PayPal about my preorder.  I guess they are waiting to hear back.

Going to the final frontier, gaming...

Damn I only just found out about this. I was going to use PN to publish a printed version of PC Engine Gamer, but I guess that's never going to happen now.

Maybe not at the moment but who knows in the future fella.

That is a real shame and he seems like a really nice man (can't be bad if we share the same name). Thanks Laird, though sad news it's good to keep abreast of these things.
For the record, Alien verses Predator on the Atari Jaguar holds a Guinness World Record!

To remove any awkwardness, I have mesothelioma. I don’t seek sympathy, just acceptance. Thanks

Also just to mention, I can confirm that the pixel nation brand under its new owner has admitted that it is dead and will not be returning at any time to publish or create new products, even though he has been advised otherwise, so there is no point in discussing anything pixel nation, so I'm closing this thread.

This is the guy who originally owned half of Pixel Nation and then took it over himself later on.

After reading this, I can completely relate to that guys continuous remarks regarding excuse after excuse from Mr.Gauntley, I myself have given my contact number to him time and time again, never to hear anything or be followed up on what was been discussed, and I'm really angry at myself for in a way ignoring the signs with the ideals the chap will make good with future co products, but with both regret and relief this now will never happen :(

I will be forwarding any material I have now to aid the guy he has conned in any way I can.

Looks like the guy is a "model" citizen.  Particularly is the model you're looking for is a crooked one!

Looks like that guys message has gotten across as super damaging to Steven Gauntley and his conning style, he has contact the guy in the above link since to shorten his huge damaging statement against to a short version, without incriminating him any further, with this statement

"Wasn't this page much longer originally?

Yes. It had a complete timeline of the events that transpired, as well as email transcripts, photos and more.

As long as Mr. Gauntley continues to make good on his promise to make refund payments to me, I will keep this shorter version up instead. This is a gesture of very strained good faith."


looks like he could be waiting awhile, this is to me nothing more that extended time while Steven sorts out any future dealing in process before they catch wind of this this and cancel and run for the hills.

another statement from Subzero at Retro Gamer forum, wrote this.

"he still owes me £265 for ebay fees when he conned me into listing his models for him! you know he used to own the defunct wrestling promotion 1PW - you can read about that on wikipedia and other places...."

I've now send an Email to Mr.Gauntley sieving all ties with anything he had planed for the future , product wise, and am completely disgusted, that I had hope to publish my Coin-Op:Arcade Guide book with this individual and invest my money to have it realized, looks like it'll never see the light of day now :( 99% finished too..and don't think doing a digital version of it will give back what's been puts into it.......looks like I'll be the only one to own it.

Sad to read that.. I suppose even the net is affected by dodgy people.

Oh, the net is a place where these kind of people can do the most harm.

Well that sucks! I was looking forward to your book Fox, hopefully you can find another way to publish it.
I was one of the people who pre ordered Pixel Nation issue 3 so I'm out 10 or 15 dollars or something like that but thankfully no more. I was looking at his mini arcade cabs and had thought about ordering a couple so I could have been out a lot more!

well it's being brought to my attention, that I might be able to get this published without breaking the bank, by one of our great members here, has really shed some great light on how I can go about it, so I'll public-ally announce that " it'll never see the light of day now " to be changed to "it will possibly out at some stage if the demand is there for it" :)

hope that reassures you now
