Default Re: Strategy First buys Malfador Machinations

guess at this point, now that SFI owns the rights to the SE franchise, they can force Shrapnel to end its long, much appreciated, friendship with us by having them discontinue support for this forum.

All shrapnel would have to do is rename the forum (For instance, 'The Spice Umpires Chat Forum') and label it as a general forum for miscellaneous off-topic chat. All the archived threads could remain available, and we'd all still hang out here, and no-one can stop us discussing whatever the hell we liked, be it SE-related or otherwise.

Any company that sent in the ambulance-chasers to shut down our forum would very quickly lose the support of the fanbase. I wouldn't want to support them with my cash, that's for sure, although I wouldn't want to do without SE5. What I'd probably do is pirate se5 and send a cheque for the cost of the game to Aaron in the post=-)

(Of course, this is all speculation. I've no reason to believe that they will do anything to force me to take such drastic measures. If the new owners behave nicely and don't hassle Shrapnel and release se5 Just As Aaron Intended, then I'll be only too happy to buy se5 in the conventional manner and support them.)
