My mother is dying,.. what do I know,.. or care..
One fact I do know 100% true.. SFI has not disclosed or badmouthed 'ANY' of their developers and have not posted 'ANY' comments on the 'Bad press' being generated by some of their developers (some with good reason).
It seems to me, bad press like that can only hurt everyone involved. If you want/need/deserve money back from someone, using a hydrolic nail gun with 'bad press' nails to seal the said publisher's coffin is like biting off the hand that feeds you, (or in this case falied to feed you) then complaining the still havent fed you and yet they have no more hands in which to feed you. (you just bit them off remember)
With only the opinions of the 'jilted' developers being posted in what can only be called 'venting due to frustration' We are getting only one half of the story. Yes it does appear to be mass agreement that SFI did a bad thing, but I'm just saying there are 2 sides to every story, in this case the publisher cannot comment on what happened and obviously will not comment.
Let me say this,.. "Yes some developers obviously lost revenue form SFI's fiasco,.. but people seem to forget that SFI itself took a MASSIVE Hit. Compare the current situation of the 'affected developers' and SFI.. It seems to me the 'affected developers' have managed to survive in spite of this 'Ugly History' so why continue to badmouth SFI?
Like I said before the 'affected developers' were wounded.. SFI was crippled and had a major Amputation of talented people. What good can come from continuing to say SFI is a bad company, SFI did this,.. SFI had a bankruptcy.. (BTW SFI never went bankrupt, they filed for 'Bankruptcy Protection' which allowed them to do some major restructuring and save what little they could.) This whole "Let's kick the cripple" attacks on SFI are IMHO very unprofessional.
Ok, I hear it.. "What SFI did was unprofessional... blah blah blah.." But I can guarantee you there was never any 'malicious intent' on the part of SFI. All these dev's posting SFI is bad, they screwed me, etc, sure sounds malicious to me. and that my friend is very unprofessional.
Anyways, I really don't like one sided arguements with no comments from the 'opposition' so this whole discussion is 100% pointless.
But hey, My mom is dying,.. I could not care less.
Cheers!
