Re: Malfador Machinations hits Strategy First!
Thats why I was sharp-eyed about SEVI. In cases where a contract has included the "not yet made NEXT version" the player base has gotten photon-torpedoed. If the contract was for game N and N+1, then game N didnt do as well as they hoped or the company fell on tight times, then N+1 got put on hold. The company wouldnt develop it, release it, or free it for the developer to seek other support.
I hadnt thought about SEV (panic time). And Im not sure if the "slightly different name" thing would stand up to a hard hit by a less friendly company than Shrapnel. Maybe SEIV Deluxe is just SEIV Gold but it has to be renamed since Shrap sold SEIV Gold. But if things go sour Im not sure that Strat-1st would allow Aaron to go somewhere else and release a SEV Deluxe.
