![]() They even tell you straight up when you start the thing that the content in the demo may end up being nothing like the finished product. So, because an original plan fall through (which can happen a lot with any big ambitious project), suddenly it means they were going to commit fraud? There are many other cases in which early concepts for games are nothing like their demos. These are some pretty outrageous claims you're making. Their entire goal was to do a bait and switch - use the demo to prove interest in the license, then pitch a AAA FPS that has little to do with System Shock to publishers to turn their studio into an AAA "big-boy" with >$1M of money from people who thought they were buying a System Shock remake, not a AAA corridor shooter with "freeze and shatter mechanics". ![]() Go read the Sheamus Young article on the whole debacle. Only because their plan to commit fraud fell through LOL. SSP was made during a time where the rights for the IP were up in the air and there was no other avenue to actually be able to play the game on a modern machine besides DOSBox, so while I can definitely see the reason for it at the time, someone actually owns the rights now and is selling the game, so why would they let all of the assets for the game be freely available online? No game company (and yes, Night Dive is a game company) would allow that to happen if they had any sense.Īlso, Night Dive have started exactly one Kickstarter in their career, so no idea where that last statement comes from. You say they "demanded" it be taken down as if they barged into his home and held a gun to his head or something, too.
