Suing Exploding Rabbit and Jay Pavlina

I wrote a detailed article about how to sue Jay Pavlina and Exploding Rabbit for the undelivered rewards for Super Retro Crossover in the post about Super Retro Squad being cancelled. Maybe things became to real for Jay Pavlina and Exploding Rabbit after that, because he made a token post on Kickstarter to make it seem like Super Retro Crossover was actually going to be made and Exploding Rabbit would deliver of the rewards. Based on the track record of Exploding Rabbit and Jay Pavlina, this poor soul he is working with will be driven away by Jay Pavlina and then he will go silent for months, maybe years, and nothing will actually be delivered. Long story short, the lies about Super Retro Crossover coming from Exploding Rabbit and Jay Pavlina should not be believed.

Can Exploding Rabbit and Jay Pavlina really be sued

Yes. The answer is a definite yes, and its not that hard. I told you the steps in the post about Super Retro Squad being cancelled. But wait, has anyone done this, and did they win? Why yes, yes they have. In fact the FEDERAL TRADE COMMISSION ("FTC") took action over another failed Kickstarter called "The Doom that came to Atlantic City." The Fed found that the creators used "deceptive tactics" by raising over $112,000 and using the money on things like RENT, MOVING TO OREGON and PERSONAL EQUIPMENT! The Fed ordered this failed Kickstarter to pay $111,794 and no longer participate in crowd funding. You might think there are potentially a a lot of similarities here. Exploding Rabbit and Jay Pavlina admit to spending the money on things like RENT, MOVING TO OHIO and PERSONAL EQUIPMENT! I wrote about it in the post Jay Pavlina thinks you are dumb. You can read the case here from the FTC website.

Whats next for Super Retro Crossover and Exploding Rabbit

So if the FTC took action against another Kickstarter for "deceptive practices," then why have they done nothing with Exploding Rabbit and Jay Pavlina yet over Super Retro Crossover. It seems like Super Retro Crossover could potentially have also been a scam. The FTC probably has not yet heard about Super Retro Squad, Exploding Rabbit and Jay Pavlina. Maybe it is time they should? The contact information from the FTC action taken on the other failed Kickstarter is below

Super Retro Crossover - Scam Returns

Super Retro Crossover Scam

The Super Retro Squad scam is being continued by Jay Pavlina of Exploding Rabbit and he went back to calling it Super Retro Crossover. This isn't a new name, I wrote about it when he changed Super Retro Squad to Super Retro Crossover back in 2015 in the post Super Retro Crossover Scam.

You should know Jay Pavlina is just continuing the scam. Basically Jay Pavlina posted to make it look as though something is happening, get poor Kickstarter backer hopes up that there would ever be a Super Retro Crossover from Exploding Rabbit. But there won't be, its just more scam so he thinks he gets out of refunding backers and getting sued. One backer named Inazuma asked a real good question about Jay Pavlina's Super Retro Squad post nonsense

"Does this mean that you won't give me the refund I've been waiting years for? I still want my refund."

Jay Pavlina from Exploding Rabbit answers with

"@inazuma: Most likely not, but we'll see.  "
"@Inazuma: Although I won't be delivering the documentary. Maybe after the game is released I can use the money to refund some people..."

Ridiculous. Keep in mind Jay Pavlina is hoping to continue to e-beg on Patreon to collect EVEN MORE MONEY while not refunding for Super Retro Crossover like he should. You can check out my post on the Exploding Rabbit Patreon Scam or about how to sue Jay Pavlina and Exploding Rabbit to get your deserved refund in the post about Super Retro Squad being cancelled.

I think most people know that Super Retro Crossover and Exploding Rabbit are a scam, but please people, do not trust the lies of Jay Pavlina again. Jay Pavlina just wants your money and Super Retro Crossover will never be made. It is a scam, always has been. Serena Nelson on Cliqist writes

"Sometimes a Kickstarter comes around where you can’t help but cringe a little every time you get news on its development. And this is certainly the case with Super Action Squad."

"I may not have personally backed Super Action Squad, but looking at the past track record I’m glad I didn’t."

Well put Serena. I'll keep everyone updated on this Super Retro Crossover Scam until the lies stop and backers are refunded.

Super Retro Squad Cancelled

Public image used

Super Retro Squad is cancelled

It has been 4 years since Super Retro Squad was funded to Jay Pavlina and appears to finally have been cancelled. Now Jay Pavlina does not have the respect enough for backers to ofically say that Super Retro Squad has been cancelled, no his technique is to just sweep it under the rug like the Super Retro Squad Kickstarter scam never happened.

 

What Jay Pavlina did

Jay Pavlina scammed backers out of their money which was pledged for Super Retro Squad. To this day, the rewards go unfulfilled (breach of contract). Jay Pavlina has gone ahead and removed anything about Super Retro Squad from explodingrabbit.com, including the refund page. This means there is no way to even request a refund anymore. Obviously during the way he changed the name of the "game" several times but really didn't produce anything at all.

 

What can be done

So now that Jay Pavlina is just pretending that the Super Retro Squad scam never happened, has not delivered all the rewards and there is no way to even request a refund anymore, what can backers do? Start by reading the post about getting a refund for Super Retro Squad and then you will see that the only option left is to sue Jay Pavlina and Exploding Rabbit. This option is all that's left because Jay Pavlina removed a way to request Super Retro Squad refunds.

 

How do I sue Jay Pavlina and Exploding Rabbit

Exploding Rabbit is set up as a limited liability corporation (LLC) and is officially called Exploding Rabbit LLC. After speaking with a lawyer you would want to send any demand letters or serve any court papers to the corporate address on file mailing it certified mail so Jay Pavlina has to sign for it and acknowledge receipt. This address is for the house that Jay Pavlina appears to have bought with backer money.

Corporate Address:
Exploding Rabbit LLC
6386 S Canterbury Rd
Parma, OH 44129

Jay Pavlina you may have scammed people and think you got away with it but we will never forget! The fact Exploding Rabbit is still scamming people on Patreon is truly amazing. Good luck with the law suits backers and let us all know how it goes in the comments.

Super Retro Squad Update

Public image of jay pavlina from exploding rabbit

Jay pavlina and exploding rabbit are not updating backers like they should so the exploding rabbit scam blog will step up and do it.

Incredible folks, remember that Super Retro Squad by jay pavlina of exploding rabbit is.... wait for it.... still not made!

It is seriously mind blowing the level of epic failure on the part of jay pavlina and exploding rabbit. As a reminder, super retro squad was funded on kickstarter on July 19, 2012. It is now June 6, 2016!! Yes that is right, jay pavlina of explodingrabbit has had almost 4 full years to complete super retro squad. Check out our Exploding Rabbit Super Retro Squad Timeline.

So what on earth has jay pavlina and exploding rabbit been doing? Well that's a good question. Jay pavlina set up a patreon page to e-beg for more money. Luckily nobody is actually falling for this nonsense.

Of course jay pavlina changed his mind on so many things several times. Jay pavlina from exploding rabbit changed the name to operation pyxel and then joined up with JForce games but of course that didn't last long because they quickly realized jay pavlina is a joke and does not actual work.

Here are a few of the updates from the exploding rabbit patreon scam as written by jay pavlina of exploding rabbit

"I don't really know how to schedule the google hangout."

"It's very important that patrons read this because I changed what I am doing."

 "You should read over the rewards because I changed them. I also changed the goals just so that I can focus on the game."

"I'll try and do a better job of having something by the end of the month instead of shortly after."

In summary - Jay pavlina is not competent or qualified to make games. He is just selfish and wants to milk money out of people so he doesn't have to work a normal job. Please people, stop enabling this madness.

Just say no to jay pavlina and exploding rabbit

Exploding Rabbit Patreon Scam

Exploding Rabbit Patreon

Oh hey Rob-in it looks like Jay Pavlina is at it again with the new Exploding Rabbit Patreon scam. And is the game Super Retro Squad, Super Action, Super Retro Crossover, Project Pyxel? I just can't tell anymore! We need to put a stop to this stupendous scamming skipper of Exploding Rabbit saliently!

Quickly to the Ratmobile.......

Super Retro Crossover - Scam

Image from: stock.xchng

So I don't believe I am writing this but Jay Pavlina and Exploding Rabbit is continuing the scam. Now it's called Super Retro Crossover.

Just to recap, Jay Pavlina swindled backers on Kickstarter out of over $50,000 back in July 2012. He did a whole lot of nothing and certainly never fulfilled the rewards of the backers, to this day, May 2015. He did buy himself a nice house though with the backers money.

Backers have been demanding refunds and rightly so. Here are just a few quotes from Jay Pavlina's loyal backers on Kickstarter;

"You guys are horrible. You begged for money, we gave it to you, all you did was play games and push back release dates while you fumbled through changing your game design every other day, then you just up and quit and steal our cash?
Don't bother making another game. No one will touch it."

"I requested a refund, was told I would get a refund, but did not get a refund. Sent a PM."

"Thanks for basically making me avoid kickstarters like the plague thanks to your disgusting work."

So needless to say these poor backers of Super Retro Squad had not received their rewards and are not even being given the refunds they deserve from Jay Pavlina and Exploding Rabbit.

Get ready for this though, you won't believe it....

Jay Pavlina of Exploding Rabbit has now changed the name of the game, yet again, to Super Retro Crossover. It is now to be a fan game continuing to steal assets from Nintendo and others.

Jay Pavlina from Exploding Rabbit has a Patreon page asking for more money. Yes that is right, let me say it again that the owner of Exploding Rabbit, Jay Pavlina has created a Patreon page to swindle more money then he already has and is not even refunding backers of Super Retro Squad.

Super Retro Crossover is a scam. Jay Pavlina of Exploding Rabbit has really stooped to an all time low here. I truly feel bad for the backers of Super Retro Squad, who have been so badly disrespected and slapped around by Jay Pavlina and Exploding Rabbit.

Super Retro Crossover is not a finished game, and uses stolen assets. Please, please, please do not make the mistake that a group of backers made with Super Retro Squad with this new Super Retro Crossover scam.

It is just sad what Jay Pavlina is trying to do with Super Retro Crossover and scam even more people.

Here are just a few more quotes from Super Retro Squad backers

"This "game" has definitely soured my experience with Kickstarter. However Divinity Original Sin, another Kickstarted game just came out and is fricking awesome."

"this is yet another perfect example of why i will never kickstart anything again"

"Thieves"

Call it Super Retro Crossover, or call it Super Action Squad, or call it Super Retro Squad.....
We all just call it a SCAM!
