It’s a real shame. Alien is brilliant. They are very creative, but execution remains to be seen. Right now they should concentrate on PR. Be honest, explain the challenges. Even if the news is bad. If you are honest, I think prospective owners will give them a lot of rope (slack). I met Andrew in person. He convinced me that if I bought Full Throttle and Alien up front, he would put me to the front of the production line. I took a chance, finally ‘pulled the plug’, paid for both games in full including air freight, only to discover a few weeks later that he was ‘on the way out’. I didn’t expect he would look me in the eyes and lie so flagrantly. He committed fraud, plain and simple. He was the CEO of Heighway. The company is obligated to fill that order in a reasonable period of time.... or they can pay legal fees to try and defend against a lawsuit. Hopefully they will see the logic in doing the former. I’m not sure the new owners are going to be able to pull this off. Maybe it takes an American company like JJP or Spooky to offer a true competitive alternative to Stern.
