Quoted from Isochronic_Frost:I’m pretty sure the coder was saying that the master files are lost for this game? I don’t remember it completely but the files were on his computer at Stern when he left and had been accidently deleted.
Keith Johnson wasn't given the extra help promised by Stern to finish WOF's code, and him being laid off from the company was the nail in the coffin. The game itself also sold poorly, from what I've heard, so -- as Keith mentioned in an interview -- there's little for Stern to gain from finishing code on an unsuccessful title from 13 or so years ago.
Plus, if they wanted to do something new with WOF, I suspect they'd have to go through licensing approvals again.
Quoted from Isochronic_Frost:I wish we could see WOF finished because that game truly deserves it.
I also like the game and want one, but I personally doubt Stern will officially update it again. The only solution may be a fan update with P-ROC, essentially rewriting the original rules from scratch before adding the missing stuff in.
