Derek Smart vs DreamCatcher

A post to the Battlecruiser Online Forums by 3000AD's Derek Smart (thanks uberneuman and Voodoo Extreme) expresses unhappiness at the value price point Universal Combat has been tagged with, saying: "We [3000AD] fully intend to litigate this because this is just ridiculous." He also describes how this impacts support of the product:

Because of how the deal is structured and given how we are paid, we stand zero chance of making ANY money on this game, let alone turn a profit for our efforts. And with that, we certainly won't have the money to allocate resources to its support. Which means, this particular UC game - unless this matter is resolved prior to the game going to retail - will be the one and only version released. No patches. No tweaks. Nothing. In other words, its Take Two all over again - except that in the case of this game, it actually works.

I'd post more, but Derek might confuse me with Camero again.

Besides the board stuff, Derek did send me a few emails and seemed fairly polite and responsible. I still wish him luck with the game and hope it doesn't set him back.


Yeah, but that's the problem, Dave. He talks trash to you in public so people don't think he's a puss, then sweet talks you in private...he's a con either way. I'm sorry, I did feel bad for the guy, but as of late, I've come to see that his ego is way too big for crap that he pulls. He does what he wants, which is fine, that's the 'American Dream' right? The problem is that he plays with your head to get your dollar, then says piss off if, god forbid, you need some kind of help with his heap of code. RTFM my ass. Write a decent manual and we'll be able to understand it just fine. I don't want to have to figure out a game that's harder than doing my taxes...and just as exciting...
