It might be forgotten!...Some fans might pick up the torch!...Someone might buy the copyrights!...
I liked that game, it had a good potential.
What bothers me, is that domino fallen, allows a worst player with questionable integrity to come to play, supported by hooligans which some were already posting in the Paradox "State of Naval War" thread.
One of the few great thing about the WWW, you can track people and there agendas, for ever.
Nothing is left over or buried.
A Psyc. profiler would make a killing, if he was paid to track and find out who is who, write what and why!
Besides, a lot of problem could not be duplicated. It seems that 1/2 the complaint generated from a group who will market an indie game next year. And Naval War Artic Circle, would have been a serious competitor. So they torpedoed it to allow their game to have better chance to succeed.
Some will destroy other people work for the sake of making money without letting the dynamic of free market and free competition to work, and letting a chance to the public to make a free educated choice.
