    A minute of silence for the DE designer, writer, artist and devs that were discarded after the game got popular. 😑

      Yep…that entire situation is so crappy. The devs deserved better.

      I mean yeah, I feel bad but he was kinda hard to work with and other devs didn’t like him but what the company did was scummy.

        Classic gaming industry IP theft. Investors underhandedly forced the founders/developers out of their own company and stole the IP.

          How do you “steal” an IP?

            Guy comes into the company and uses illegal, fraudulent methods to take it over. He then demoted the co-owners (and founders) to mere “employees” so they could be fired. The plan was to then sell the company to a big publisher and walk away with all the money.

              Ok… But I still not quite get how you take the company over with il·legal, fraudulent methods.

                There’s a bunch of articles and videos that go over how it happened. It’s not too different from what happened to Interplay back in the day. Here’s one overview: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k7Xu4GvpN9U

      Thanks for saying it. I was going to bring it up, but I wasn’t clear on all the details.
