That’s great news if you are able to get it to work.

In the meantime that book depository website was showing in stock, and then everyone ordered and it changed to out of stock and all the orders were refunded. Now it is showing back in stock again. Maybe someone will get lucky and get a book.

Yeah, I ordered it again. If they cancel it again, I'll wait for it to show in stock and then order it. I don't mind screwing with them, I suggest everyone give it a try. It's a win if I actually end up with a printed book, if not, it's nice making extra work for them.

To everyone else that got their orders canceled. Just keep (re)ordering, if it shows as available on the website. If they keep refunding you, it's their loss after all (due to payment processor's fees).

I Guess The Book Depository's moral objection to selling a hate manifesto begins at the point which they sold their existing inventory.

Their system is print-on-demand, so technically they shouldn't have any inventory.

Many books sold by Amazon are print on demand. Amazon also sells print-on-demand DVD's.

RE: Amazon has banned Game and 8 of my other books
Good post by Heartiste about Roosh's Game being banned:

https://heartiste.wordpress.com/2018/10/...oure-next/

This has been covered before in this thread, but I'll post the most salient bit anyway. Emphasis mine:

Quote: We fight The Fuggernaut together to victory, or we fail individually. Laugh at Roosh’s misfortune today; tomorrow it’s your heretic head on the chopping block.

williamk has a great comment about this pressing topic,

"Been thinking of the Roosh ban a bit. The left understands their actions are alienating White men and so it is important to them now to cut off entry points to the crime think bonanza. People may like or dislike Roosh but he’s as good of an entry point as there is. In contrast, guys over at Unz Review or others like it have little to fear because they are too intellectual and long-winded to reach your 105 IQ guy, whereas Roosh is logical yet easily digestible. Thats who the banhammer comes for.

Also, its not really an attack on game. They don’t care, promiscuity is part of the globohomo plan. They gave Mystery a reality show. They want men focused on sports, boobs and beer. The connection between game and cultural sickness is their problem. Guys who give tinder tips and stop at that will never be targeted, but anything that gets men thinking beyond the tip of their dick will be on a watchlist."

That’s the crux of it; step outside of your authorized scope of dialogue to draw connections between leftoidism, the sexual market, and American decline, and you will be targeted for removal.

RE: Amazon has banned Game and 8 of my other books
They just banned MillennialWoes off Twitter:





He just stated that blacks statistically more likely to commit violent crimes than European descended Whites. He could have also stated that Whites are more likely also than North Asians to commit those crimes, but facts don't matter.

Hate-speech definitions get expanded and the window of even being able to stray from the PC-narrative is getting smaller. Soon the police and FBI will have to stop publishing those hate-facts and will end up like the Swede: "Wanted: Human being (he could identify as a female), unknown race, unknown looks, unknown height, unknown weight - nothing known."

Paypal on the behest of Mastercard is also beginning the purge to attack the finances of all wrong-thinkers, then comes the de-platforming, maybe in the end they will have their gulags, but my guess is that they will end it with termination of all bank-accounts, termination of your internet accounts, your mobile phone access and even energy and heating access. That might shut you up well-enough. In the past it was impossible to do that due to lack of connectivity - now they might just pull a switch and your life is over.

Roosh's Twitter is likely under a watch-list and better surveillance than ISIS accounts - who cares if someone blows up a stadium - it's more impant that shitlords don't trigger snowflakes.

These are good instincts. But Amazon still sells most Roosh books. Follow the money. HarperCollins and (((Neil Strauss))) AMOGed the books.

Quote:Beyond the title’s similarity, HarperCollins contended that seduction concepts from Obama’s Game originated in Strauss’s best-selling memoir The Game and companion manual Rules of the Game - alpha male, indirect opener, false time constraint, isolation, and last-minute resistance. But Strauss hesitated: ‘My pick-up material has been copied before. As a controversial author myself, I don’t condone censorship. I just don’t want my brand associated with harassment or coercion.’

What's the source of this quote? There's absolutely nothing on Google about it. Most your links are many years old. Also, when copyright is a problem, Amazon tells you.

Even if true, still doesn't explain why Amazon banned 8 of my other books.

I suspect that's the case. It also best explains the near simultaneity of the ban - Amazon on one day, the rest on the next.

Furthermore, I've noticed that ALL of Roosh's oeuvre appear to be available on Amazon online in Deutschland! (Anyone care to do a more ambitious non-English eBook site availability check?)

We know the enemy are huge and powerful in Euroland. But the SPLC seems to be a Soro's funded authority site that's only powerful in the English speaking world.

Thus, Roosh's surmise appears to be corroborated.

RE: Amazon has banned Game and 8 of my other books
Amazon Germany and Amazon USA are managed differently - but Amazon USA forwards you to Amazon Germany if you try to order certain products - at least that is what they do if you try to have it delivered to central Europe.

In addition Europe is despite all those claims about lack of free-speech just different. You can publish books that would be viciously attacked in the US while of course some other ones will get you imprisoned while you can do it in the US.

The control matrix is just different, but fact is that they are beginning to clamp down.

Yes, the audiobook is available.

https://www.amazon.de/Game-Meet-Attract-...07GZZT9MP/

Plagiarism is difficult to prove. Roosh claimed to invent the bathroom line. Neil Strauss’s _The Game_ (page 93) says ‘All I had to say was, "Can I use the bathroom?".’ Maybe they both learned it from Mystery’s Lounge before 2005.

Descriptions of a drunken hook-up or painful sex with a virgin are pretty normal. Tucker Max’s books are far worse. So why did Amazon choose to ban those particular titles? The problem is not the content, it is the context. Hypergamous women instinctually detest betas. Some of the books teach weasel game. The “pet shop opener” conceals sexual intent. Stalking drunk women to their apartments: “You won’t let her know your intention to enter her place until you’re within sight of her front door.” Secretly removing bras and putting on condoms. This pickup artist mindset teaches how to trick women instead of attracting them with internalized Red Pill confidence. Hooking up with a drunken alpha is spontaneous romance. But getting played by a thirsty, weaselly stalker is creepy as fuck.

The manipulative frame filters into the marketing. Roosh trolls for clicks with provocative articles. This viral marketing generates profitable sales for Roosh, and then makes Amazon deal with complaints. Like a woman who got pumped and dumped, Amazon is upset about getting used. The solution to both problems is to own your sexual game and own your business strategy instead of whining about rejection.
