Age of Automaton

Hello Backers!

We have some exciting updates to share with you today (May 13)!

🎥 Factory Visit in China
We had the opportunity to visit our production partner in China and review the promo card set for Age of Automaton. The samples looked great, and everything is in order. The cards are now officially in mass production and will be ready soon!

📉 Good News on U.S. Tariffs
Here’s a major update for our U.S. backers — the tariff rate has been reduced to 30% for the next 90 days! This gives us the green light to open the pledge manager next week (after we return to Thailand). Based on current developments, it’s unlikely that the tariff will return to the previous 145% rate within that time.

💸 We’ve Got You Covered
To show our appreciation, we’ll be subsidizing the tariff cost for our U.S. backers. We know this situation hasn’t been easy, and we’re doing our best to ensure you still get your copy at a fair price. Once you receive your game, we’d love your help in spreading the word by sharing a review or post!

Thank you again for your continued patience and support. We’re almost there!

Warm regards,
Four Comma Game Co., Ltd.

Dear Backers,

We hope this message finds you well.

First and foremost, please accept our sincerest apologies for the lack of updates over the past few weeks. We truly appreciate your patience and continued support.

As some of you may already know, the ongoing trade situation between the USA and China has significantly impacted our plans. Due to the recently announced 245% tariff on goods imported from China, it has become impossible to ship the game to the U.S. without drastically increasing the price — something we are firmly against.

Therefore, we have decided to delay the opening of the pledge manager. We want to ensure that we can offer the best possible deal to our backers without unexpected extra costs. Rest assured, no one will be charged at this stage, and we will continue to closely monitor the situation before taking further steps. We promise to keep you updated as soon as we have more clarity.

As for production progress:

We sincerely hope for your understanding regarding the pledge manager delay. We know this might be frustrating, and we are truly sorry for the inconvenience caused. Let's all hope for a swift resolution to the current situation.

If you have any questions, concerns, or suggestions, feel free to leave a comment, reach out to us on Facebook/Instagram, or email us directly.

Thank you once again for your support.

 Have a great day,
 Four Comma Game Co., Ltd.
