Default Re: Strategy First buys Malfador Machinations

A clever well timed April Fools day hoax?

Quote:
Aaron Hall and Malfador Machinations announced today
Where? Where did he announce this?

Quote:
"We have monitored the consumer acceptance of the Space Empires franchise since entering into an exclusive distribution and publishing agreement with Malfador in early 2005. The remarkable, ongoing sales of existing games and the tremendous, built-up anticipation for the release of Space Empires V give us confidence that the intellectual property we have acquired will have long-term value as the preeminent space genre game franchise.
"consumer aceptance of the Space Empires franchise since entering into an exclusive distribution and publishing agreement."

Really now, after sitting on the games re-release and only after about seven or eight months of interent sales?

"The remarkable, ongoing sales of existing games and the tremendous, built-up anticipation for the release of Space Empires V"

Oh give me a break, their forums are on life support so what are they basing this off of? Certainly not insider info.

And they are a canadian company. The taxes involved with being employeed by them and working in the US, especially CA, would be a nightmare.

My vote is that this is just a well played, brillant April Fools day hoax. Good job Chris.
