I don't know what's going on at ABM now, but I do know that they are
distributors for Magic: The Gathering card game.  I can only guess (and
probably correctly) that they make more off the CCG market than they do
with PBM games.  When I used to play some of their games (MI & IAC), I
found that they really didn't care too much about the customer
(especially Jack Everit).  So, it would not supprise me to hear that they
would just leave their customers hanging without informing them of delays
caused by pursuit of money from other sources.

This, of course, is only my opinion.  I'm sure that there are those that
think of the ABM people as gods or something.
