Default Re: Malfador Machinations hits Strategy First!

There's no doubt the guys in the middle (Strategy First) control, well pretty much everything I guess. Is there any chance that, if Star Fury doesn't work out with them SEV won't be released by them? I haven't heard that they have a contract for SEV yet, unless I missed something, which I do quite regularly

Does anyone have concerns that it might turn into a subscription based online game? I don't know much about who Silverstar Holdings is but the line "fee-based electronic game businesses" kinda bugs me.

For SEV, no concern at all.

I think thats all settled already for SEV and most of what the SEV game will be. What I have not seen is anything saying that SEVI is locked down yet.

Most of the screenshots for Starfury look, well, like Starfury.

This one sort of confuses me though. Uh, since when is the shop screen a window..?

What I want to know is, will there be a patch from 1.91 to Deluxe, or will we diehard fans all have to buy SE4 for a third time to keep up to date???

What do you really think? We are talking retail sales where profits can be cents a copy.

Yeah, I knew it... we're screwed

edit: and if we all refuse to buy SE4 Deluxe, then what if Strategy First decides to cancel SE5...
