- Wing Commander III has been postponed indefinitely.
- This comes from the mouth of a fairly reliable source who recently talked
- to Richard Garriot (aka Lord British) at GenCon.
- It seems that Chris Roberts has had a falling out with Origin, as they
- were openly insulting him in a seminar. "They" being Lord British, et al.
-
- I wonder if this will also delay/cancel the Strike Commander project...
-
- Anyway, you'll need to enjoy what you've got in the WC series, as that's
- probably all there'll be from Origin.
-
- *** WARNING: STAUNCH SPECULATION ***
- If Chris Roberts has indeed left Origin, he may well go to another company
- with his wares. We could see a product that will be a WC clone from, oh,
- Sierra. (ok, not, but maybe LucasArts would bite...)
-
- Take it for what it's worth,
- Jim
