SiN Episodes Pretty Much Done

Posted by Zonk on from the it-was-mediocre-while-it-lasted dept.

Kotaku is carrying comments from this week's 'Games for Windows' podcast, where employees from Ritual Entertainment confirm that SiN Episodes is finished. The mini-exodus from the company earlier this month has effectively sunk the studios' ambitious episodic content plan. From the article: "Jeff: Sin Episode 2... Shawn: ...is likely not happening now. A lot of the people from the dev team have left. Jeff: At Ritual? Shawn: Yeah, they've gone elsewhere. They now work for other people. Some of the key people. One of the lead programmers. That's not a good sign."

    The same can be said for MMORPGs. Once they decide to shut the servers off you have no game. It sucks, but I don't think there's any recourse for the consumer.

    I do believe that once a company closes its servers they should release the source to the community so people can run personal servers. Seems to work. Just ask MS about their game Alliance.

    "Pretty much done" can also mean "Close to being completed." As in, "Almost released." Since that's the exact opposite of what the article actually says, maybe the editors should pay a little more attention to detail?
