Magna Mundi - The Game

Snowball v2?

Somebody here once mentioned that this Ubik character had a history of 'leading' doomed projects...  Guess his Resume just got longer.

Snowball v2?

Seems like it. OTOH, the Snowball debacle still led to Crusader Kings, while this will be completely canned?

Wow, that thread is overflowing with emo MM fanboys.

What's really bad is all this hair tearing and teeth-gnashing when if they were given what they apparently want (a broken beta), they'd probably be even more upset.

Looks like they only kicked out UV, and it will not be called Magna Mundi (thankfully).

Wow, they didn't add war and diplomacy until February?

The fanboi tears on EUOT are delicious.

It's quite mistyfying for me to witness such a level of wailing over something as banal as a videogame. Lots of people not involved on its development really got too emotionally attached to it.

Especially one that wasn't even released.  They're that upset over a potential video game

Ubik goes legal?

Greetings Magna Mundi fans,

I am just writing this post to let you know that Universo Virtual and myself will answer in the proper legal forum to the weird "cancellation" of the game. I'd also like to make it known the "cancellation" issue is just a detail on everything that's going to be settled there.

I am not going to allow that my name and my credibility are to be placed in jeopardy as they have been for some time now. I intend to come out of this with a big smile in my face and my name clean.


In the following days Universo Virtual legal team will make a public statement about this issue.


Thank you for your support,

Carlos Gustavo Benavente

Good luck with that.

[garbon]

Very odd.

[Maladict]

Looks like Magna Mundi will be entertaining after all.

Ubik goes legal?

He's been threatening legal action for months now.

A. He's just one guy.  I doubt he has the resoruces or stomach for any kind of meaningful legal action.

B. I'm pretty sure the contract was very much in Paradox's favour.

I completely agree on both points; I'm just saying he's been muttering darkly about lawsuits for a while, probably as soon as he saw the handwriting on the wall.
