Prayer will not bring back GoD { Lophan }
It would seem that Nietzsche was right: GoD is dead.As reported by Bluesnews and half of the english-speaking Myth world (including Forrest below :P ), GodGames CEO Mike Wilson is starting an "interactive magazine" called Substance TV and taking a good portion of the GoDGames staff with him. The remaining staff will reportedly fold into Take2 Interactive's New York offices. That's the bad news.
The good news is that this (supposedly) will not affect Myth III's scheduled simultaneous release sometime late this year. Word has it that it will still be published as a GoD title. My question: what will happen to all the dirty GoD calendar girls?
In somewhat related news, Dynamix (creators of the ever-popular Tribes series) has closed up shop. This has caused a lot of wailing about how much everyone seems to hate Sierra's game division... but since I don't play Tribes I don't much care. The next question: which development house will be the next to fall? The farther we go into this recession, the smarter the Bungie/Microsoft buyout is looking... no?
