I work at a cyber cafe in the midwest that has XBox360s and today I had a lot of customers asking about the Avenger Controller. Normally I'm up to date with game releases, product releases, etc, but haven't heard what this is, and will look it up on YouTube next.

I have gone back and read the e-mail fiasco and at first I feel bad that a small(?) company like this is getting such a bad rap from someone else's poor, unprofessional attitude.

Couple of questions about the product:

1) If the controller is made overseas and shipped and has to go through customs, have they done this before? I feel like using the excuse "being held up at customs" seems very new to the industry and might be a starting out mistake, but I could be wrong.

2) At the risk of getting LMGTFY'd, I'm going to ask what Ocean Marketing's role was with the Avenger Controller company, to help seal up some gaps in the information I've tried to read.

EDIT: Just googled the company, but does marketing include handling the phones and e-mails coming in for the product? It almost seems like Paul Christoforo was the only person working the computer and telephone.

Further edit: 3rd question: How is Chistoforo holding your e-mails hostage? Did he change the passwords, etc. to keep them away from the company? I feel like that might be illegal...

Also, this is my first reddit post! :D

Thanks for helping clarify this for me. I had no idea that this was regarding a PS3 version of the controller and that the XBox one was already out. I guess that makes sense with the hang-ups in customs. Good luck untangling this massive pile of crap that Paul has left for you, you seem very intelligent, and I think it's a good idea to be siding and communicating with the Internet, that helped reveal this man's unprofessional conduct, originating at Penny-Arcade, and went viral.

Do you or have you considered a service animal to help you with your day to day life?
