    Stargate Worlds - $$$ problems

    http://www.neoseeker.com/news/10158-...ncial-trouble/

    Dev studio behind Stargate Worlds in financial trouble

    This time it wasn't Lord Anubis that is causing troubles for Stargate Worlds. Instead, it's lack of cash. (And we aren't talking space-bucks. Nope, just ole plain-Jane U.S currency.)

    While it could only be a petty squabble or small misunderstanding, it seems that Cheyenne Mountain Entertainment, developer of in-progress Stargate Worlds, is being sued by a data center business called IO Capital Princess, for an unpaid bill.

    This isn't the first time Cheyenne Mountain has been in the red either. Late last year, a widely circulated story stated that they were unable to pay all of their employees, and another news story stated that were actively searching for new investors.

      Seems that way! This is just sad though. Not getting paid for all of your hard work is.... messed up!

      And now they got people at their door saying "Hey! Where's our money?!"

      Hopefully they'll be able make it through all of these troubles, but I seriously doubt it at this point.

        even if the game is finished and released doesn't mean it will sell. the games sales are the onyl way the delevopers may get paid

          Alas, I read somewhere that it was notorious for game developers to make their programmers work long hours and screw them on pay. Guess this isn't much different. What's weird is that Stargate Worlds is sponsoring some race car, so they have to have money SOMEWHERE.

          Wait, a bail out. They need a bail out!

            to be fair if you read the article it says they put up no money for the sponsorship deal not sure how that works though

              meh, pretty the end for the game now tbh. SGW needs to release before the upcoming Star Wars, Star Trek and Jumpgate Evolution MMO's to get good slice out of the sci-fi MMO genre otherwise it's going to be face vertical uphill challenge to find subscribers. With all these financial problems its having, it's for sure going to get some big delays in its release which will mean those other MMO's will release in the meantime and effectively cut off SGW from obtaining a large enough subscriber base to survive.

                  Gee a sponsorship that doesn't involve any money.....thats just a company doing something for free isn't it?? Would be a shame if the staff don't get whats owed to them. I hope they get are given the chance to finish the job and see their work come to fruition.

                    I knew they had problems with $$ for a couple of months but they said back then they will solve this quick... aparently not . they should have tried something more simple like a FPS shooter.

                        It's too bad they can't get their stuff together. Games are one of the best selling products in the marketplace even with the recession.
