Necrostorm assured me last week that there were over six thousand satisfied Death Cargo customers who have been enjoying the supremely violent nineties-style fighting game since it first launched in March. A Necrostorm representative explained to me that there isn't gameplay footage available online yet because the company was required by Italian intellectual property law to prevent any such footage or imagery from being posted. This prohibition was lifted once the new trailer went live.

I still haven't been able to play the digital version of the game I purchased last week. Since posting my original story, I've also heard from a number of other Death Cargo customers beyond those originally interviewed who've had similar experiences when trying to install and play it. The Necrostorm representative told me that I would have to wait until Wednesday, May 14th to be able to play it since the file creation process can take up to five days to complete. I first purchased my copy on Friday, May 9th.

The Necrostorm representative also told me that the company's satisfied customers in this case are more often fans of the studio's trademark "splatter films" than they are seasoned gamers. As such, she didn't think they were as familiar with online gaming communities or the process of posting gameplay footage online as seasoned gamers often are. Since the embargo only lifted eight hours ago, she suggested that it may take a bit longer than usual to start seeing additional gameplay footage surface as a result.
