To Publishers, 1C Company and 505 Games

[SEE]

Pretty sure that we all agree that the lack of communication from 505 has been the underlying issue. I would argue that we have made some progress in that someone at 505 has had to search their customer support enquiry database for previous emails (that have been completely ignored up untill now) and issue a statement to those still on their system. This coincides with the actions that we as a group have initiated and the intervention of 1C. Exactly who or what stimulated 505 to finally respond isn't known but we have a positive relationship with 1C and thats something I consider important. From what Anton has said, 505 have legal rights of ownership and are the only ones in the triplet that decide what gets released and in what form. 505 have issued a statement of intent and we have to work to that and respond accordingly and appropriately. Sometimes you need a stick, sometimes a carrot to get a donkey moving. We will probably need both!

I was told the relationship with 505 is not good. For reasons we don't know. And it is very evident. I sent a message to Nike-it to try to find something out and he very quickly put up the sticky about the patch. There is some problems here but lets hope these relationships between these companies get worked out.

Evidently there was something happening between them.
