Noticed today in Gamasutra that there’s a Postmortem for Galactic Civilizations 2. The article is very interesting and the team should be proud of their accomplishments. They mention how the first game sold quite well but they failed to receive a good chunk of their royalties due to publisher Strategy First going bankrupt.
Then, in the news section of the same site, I see that Strategy First just acquired small studio Malfador Machinations. I’m sure there’s an explanation for things like this, but damned if I know it.
In another funny coincidence, nipples are (not) showing up everywhere!
Strategy First went into bankrupcy protection, then, evidently, managed to repay enough of their debts to resurface.
And they never paid the royalties after resurfacing?
Well, they certainly didn’t pay _us_, so I guess they didn’t pay Stardocks either 🙂
Anyway, if you need a good lawyer and/or accountant, call theirs.
