Quoted from Damonator:Dude - don’t even compare Haggis to Deeproot. It’s not even remotely the same situation. Haggis is producing and selling games, albeit slower than we would like. Deeproot just stole money and made nothing.
I agree the comparison to Deeproot probably isn't the most appropriate. However most of the most he was comparing it to Heighway who made an unlicensed game that had very limited demand (Full Throttle) then took deposits for a second licensed game that people where excited about (Alien). Heighway was well know for his factory floor updates which always seemed to be done when no workers were around, redesiging standard pinball mechs, and long production delays for which he always had some kind of excuse. We all hope the Haggis story ends differently, but so far there are enough parallels that some are getting uncomfortable.
