Magna Mundi Cancelled

[Voigtkampf]

This is funny because Yoshi from Tripwire (who is their community manager) is awesome. The problem is Ramm-Jager won't shut up and let Yoshi handle it.

One of the worst things I've ever seen a developer do is when RO Ladder made a statement about their shut down due to the lifelessness of RO2, lack of mod tools, broken promises, etc. that makes running clan matches almost impossible, Ramm took it upon himself to write a response to it blaming it all on RO Ladder, calling them spoiled and unruly, denying the state of affairs, etc. RO Ladder was over a decade old and went aaaaaaaaall the way back to the original Red Orchestra mod for UT2003. Shameful display.

It is simply astonishing, the lack of tact, sense for doing business and relating to customers, as well as the epic proportions this can take on. CEO's of many developing teams around the world behave like that. Remember that guy from ME3? Some might recall the CCP's behavior up to the point EVE Online started bleeding subs like crazy, people leaving in droves and them understanding, oh crap, EVE O is our only source of income and our most unique product, we can't treat it and the fan base like the unwanted stepchild! The profound lack of professionalism and exceeding levels of arrogance with these people is mind-boggling.

Thinking about it makes me respect Creative Assembly even more. The response by less tactful devs to the way people act on TWC wouldn't be pretty at all.

CA folks at least have enough sense not to accuse their player base of being whiny b****es and simply keep their mouths shut when the heat is on, but that is the extent of their PR prowess.

What a mess. It's too bad. I really enjoyed some of the earlier versions of MM butended up switching to vanilla as it improved with expansions.

It's too bad, I was really looking forward to this. I'd like to think that since Paradox owns the project, and such a large portion of the develop team has publicly distanced themselves form Ubik, we might see the game released eventually in some form or another. Not holding my breath, though. Ubik's arrogance is finally catching up to him...

And there you have it folks. A version of Magna Mundi has been leaked. I just visited the Magna Mundi sub-forum to see a discussion on the said leak and on how unstable the build was.

So now according to TinCow, Paradox can press criminal charges against Ubik and win in court? Ooo. Now this should be a very good episode.

Ubik is dead now.

Prior to this, he had a legal chance, cause Pdox cancelled the game, demanded the IP and money back.

Oh boy... I seriously doubt Ubik has had anything to do with intentionally leaking MM. Because if he WAS that stupid and had an active hand in it.. this is just about the worst thing he could have done from a PR as well as a legal stand point. As Sarmatian says above me he's dead
