*sigh* It is with a heavy heart that I share the news a game with the potential the B5 world to gamers around the world has been totally killed off. What's strangest about this is the game was not cancelled due to lack of interest or publishers willing to pick up the game:
<< It is not due to problems with Sector 14 Studios, nor is it due to lack of interest by publishers, or lack of funding, but rather the current holder of the materials recently informed us they were no longer interested in selling the game assets. Appeals to the highest levels of management at Havas in France were not able to change their stance. >>
-- Richard G. Brewer (CEO, Sector 14 Studios)
The post that the above excerpt was taken from is located at the FirstOnes forums.
So what's up with this? A conspiracy hatched by jealous LucasArts employees/backers? Is the CEO of Sierra a through-and-through Trekkie? I think the worst part of this is the game contained the last unseen footage of the B5 crewmembers ever taken. Now we'll never see it.
