Cronosoft in financial trouble
http://www.worldofspectrum.org/
forums/showthread.php't=23239
It's a bit of bad news, but I'm sorry
to say that I'm probably closing up
the Cronosoft label.
I'm struggling financially at the
moment, & Cronosoft has too, for a
while without much interest, & I'm
beginning to lose money keeping it
going, plus I can't afford to buy more
tape stocks etc. Also, unfortunately,
I've had a hefty PayPal chargeback
against someone I sent a large order
to that is claiming that it's
undeceived.
Of course, all payments to authors
etc. are all put aside & will be sent
out as soon as possible. Maybe I'll be
able to restart it in the future when
times are a bit better.
I'd like to thank everyone that
supported the label, either by buying
games, writing them, designing covers,
giving us invites to shows etc..
I'm really sorry - thanks again.

Thanks for your kind support. I will
be able to continue to offer emulator
versions of course, but the tapes idea
was the main reason for continuing.
Maybe I could do a 'download the inlay
& print yourself' kind of thing. I do
have some stocks left, so I will carry
on for a little while yet until they
are gone. The website is still there,
& It'll be tweaked a bit. Cronosoft
will still be there as a name if not
as a supplier of tapes.
Sales have dropped a large amount over
this last year, with some being in
just single figures, so maybe it would
be best to 'come back' in the future
when things are a bit better. The
charge backs thing is a new problem to
overcome. Sending things by recorded
delivery adds a lot to the cost which
people don't want to pay (especially
for international which sticks 3.50
onto the cost, coupled with the fact
that lost items don't have a proof of
value which satisfies the post office,
unless it's the games that are sold on
Ebay). The last chargeback was for
over 30, which was a bit of a stinger.
It wouldn't have been so bad if the
person concerned had even emailed to
say they hadn't received the games.
I'll keep posting though... don't
worry I've posted so much nonsense on
here, there's no reason to stop now
hahah!

I suppose its all down to if you buy
the games the label will remain viable
if you don't purchase goods then the
label will fold the Commodore Computer
Club U.K. are working with Simon to
try & provide some assistance
