BACKGROUND

Please describe your company and your position there.

Im the CEO of a gaming company that creates games for influencers.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

For what projects/services did your company hire EJaw Games?

We had a lot of work and wanted to outsource to an agency, so we contacted EJaw games.

SOLUTION

How did you select this vendor and what were the deciding factors?

They seemed like a legitimate company and had a decent portfolio.

Describe the project in detail and walk through the stages of the project.

We needed a prototype for a drifting game. We put together a simple game design document and handed the rest to them.

How many resources from the vendor's team worked with you, and what were their positions?

Apparently 3 (Developer, artist and gamedesigner) but judging by the results, there was probably only one person working on it...

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

Can you share any outcomes from the project that demonstrate progress or success?

Not really. So basically I asked them for a quote and they told me $1000 / 50h. We are not very experienced and this is the first time we hire an agency. Long story short, they completely high balled us for what we were asking for and totally took advantage of us.

How effective was the workflow between your team and theirs?

Communication was pretty good, they also sent updates and stuff, but as soon as I confronted them about highballing us and lying about how many hours it took them (unfortunately after I had payed), they starting making up things like "We spent 12h searching for assets" like...what? Oh and now that they noticed that they messed up, they seem to be ignoring us...

What did you find most impressive or unique about this company?

It is very impressive to me that a company this big (in comparison to us, we are a small startup) has the lack of decency and morals to basically scam us out of our strictly budgeted money.

Are there any areas for improvement or something they could have done differently?

Yes, they should not have taken advantage of us. They should stop ignoring us and refund us our money. Even if only partial. They charged us 50h of work although it probably took them less than 10h.

Company Responses

The vendor responded on December 12, 2022.

The score given doesn't correspond to the feedback provided.
Scheduling was smooth, but the score 2.0.
Quality was “OK”, but score 3.0
Project was fix price and agreed upon, so the score’s unjustified.
