btw. My name is Martin P. Gerner, nice to meet you - I enjoyed reading your posts so far! (no irony here!)
Terrapin.. I know in my heart that you are correct on this... BUT...
Reggie McNeil's post must be taken at face value.. that X1 is admitting improper methods when this project was first started and that they are willing to make it right and have received permission from the various modders who's work will be distributed on their (X1's) intended product.
You may know in your heart that something is still "fishy" about the deal.. but I suggest that these "anomalies" be uncovered through discourse rather than make attacks against Reggie.. only because it makes you look a bit intolerant.. and as I said.. I know you are correct in this.

From all I have been reading (until Reggie McNeils post), X1 as an entity just oozes that internet punk/scum/scam artist feeling.. and I would watch them with a very close eye.
If they are willing to make right what was obviously wrong more power to them! .. but they are gunna be watched most carefully.. so dont f%ck it up X1!

Now... my next question is:
I am originally from the "other" site.. you know.. Neals other board that is populated by dedicated and professional weirdos (yes..like Drebbel!).
We managed to scrape up enough cash to hire a programmer to make some serious changes to SHII (after Neal managed to get the source code for the program). Part of the stipulation from UBI was that we could not sell the "patch"... how is it that UBI is allowing the sale of Stealwolf using their registered name (SHIII) aside from all the other arguements about ownership of the mods? this seems kinda inconsistant to me.
