Paypal/Plimus, the DLC and Xmas sales

A heads up. If you want to buy something via PayPal, do it now.

http://www.slitherine.com/news/item411

"The Matrix Games and Slitherine shops will temporarily be unable to process Paypal payment as of December 9th. This is due to the fact our e-commerce provider Plimus are changing the way they work with PayPal and during the transition we will not be able offer this as a payment option. The PayPal service should be back online in January 2012. Unfortunately, this was completely out of our control and the news did not arrive in time for us to make alternate arrangements that would provide an acceptable level of service. We realize this could not come at a worse time, which is why we are giving as much notice as we can so that customers who planned to purchase in December with PayPal will have a chance to make those purchases before this disruption. All other payment options will be available as normal. For more info you can see the Plimus announcement - http://home.plimus.com/ecommerce/paypal ... newsletter " (...)

I just read the 1941 DLC got slightly delayed but will most likely be released this week.
It's going to be a close thing for those using Paypal. (I am glad to have a VISA.)

Nevertheless this is quite outrageous. I know Matrix and Slitherine can't be blamed for Plimus failure, but there I don't doubt that this is going to negatively affect the important Xmas season sales of Matrix and Slitherine. For us players it is shite as well.

Of course they couldn't wait till January?! This is incredible unprofessional of Plimus, they are losing their clients potential customers/money and expect them to swallow this.

Indeed, they chose the best date to disrupt it.

This is very unfortunate indeed.

At least we managed to do the 50% off sale of the game before the 9th.

I just bought the digital copy of Panzer Corps for my brother. When DLC '41 is released, I will be purchasing all the available DLCs at one go. Great stuff Slitherine/Lordz. Well done!

We're coming up on the 9th of December now! Any way to prepay for copies of the DLC '41. Also if I want to buy two copies and donate one to another person, how can I do this with Slitherine?

I have the same question. I want to buy this dlc but without PayPal support it will be a problem for me.

We're hoping to release on the 8th but its not guaranteed.

We have no way to accept pre-orders unfortunately.
