Strategy First acquires Malfador Machinations
According to Wargamer.com:
http://www.wargamer.com/news/news.asp?nid=3216
Aaron will stay on in a management role for Space Empires. But otherwise I'm not sure what to say at the moment... we'll have to see what word comes from MM, SFI.

Re: Strategy First buys Malfador Machinations
Bah.
"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."
Another cow to milk.

Re: Strategy First buys Malfador Machinations
Is this true? Or is it a late April Fools joke...I don't know which to hope for...stunning news to be sure.

Re: Strategy First buys Malfador Machinations
I hope this turns out well.....And is not just a way of turning the game into some online FPS-Snipehunt-makebelieveRP game.

Re: Strategy First buys Malfador Machinations
I really hate to be the one screaming, "the sky is falling," but this means that it is possible for Aaron to lose control of the franchise in the future.
However, at least a company with a proven track record of listening to the users is the one to aquire it.

Re: Strategy First buys Malfador Machinations
I have to wonder why nothing is said about this on the MM site?

Re: Strategy First buys Malfador Machinations
Because Aaron has always been pretty bad about updating his website. Sometimes it seems like he might be afraid of this "Internet" thing, and he just sticks to what he knows best: making good strategy games.
But, I'm a little bit hesitant to believe the article. While it takes some arm twisting for Aaron to update, you would think purchasing a development studio, even one that is basically a one-man house with some contract workers, would make SFI's website in a press release. But, nada.
Until at least one of the parties involved confirms, it's just rumor and hearsay.

Re: Strategy First buys Malfador Machinations
yeah, my thoughts exactly.
I mean, how reliable is Wargamer as a source? They say MM announced it. But how and when? I see nothing on SFirst or MMs website.
