Thanks for posting the link to the interview.

After reading this, I'm much less interested in the new game--mainly because it sounds like it is being developed by somebody other than the SimTex? folks who did the first one.

Like I said, I played MOO/MOO2 quite a bit but never lost sleep finishing a game of it like I have with SEIV.

Traitor is just a word, we need to back it up with actions. Now, where have I put my shotgun...

Interesting read.

I note how much time they spent meticulously planning and scheduling right out though release. This means more certain schedule slippages and cost over-runs as they struggle to make 'THE PLAN',(which is not really the game ).

MM and Shrapnel should rejoice at Hasblo's involvement at project inception. That certainly seriously reduces the likelyhood of a real good product by several factors of ten.

Peering deep into my crystal ball, I see ... recriminations, resignations, demoralization, demotions, finger pointing, firings, payoffs and layoffs.

Yeah. I know I'm a cynic.

Just an FYI but Hasbro Interactive is no more. They were bought out by InfoGames?

Here's a link to the story:
