Yeah, the whole Dyack thing is certainly an interesting story. He just doesn't seem to "get" it, and I really don't think that used games are "killing" the industry as he suggests. No, it's his other comments and actions like that which are.

I hope the game somehow ends up being good, not a generic FPS with a Sanity Meter.

What i've always been wondering, how would it even be possible for SK/Dyack to work on a sequel to ED and try to sell it to some publisher, when Nintendo holds all the rights to the franchise? The only ones to make a real second part of ED happening would be them, or am i seeing something wrong?

Anyway, he kind of got what he deserved, even though it really sucks for all the people who lost their jobs because of this...

I'd buy a second part from Nintendo in a heartbeat, ED is one of my favourite GC games!

I believe Nintendo was working with Silicon Knights for a ED2 but then, that thing with Epic happened causing them to lose any rights to Too human and XMen Destiny and owe a lot to Epic. I'm surprised that Silicon knights didn't file for bankruptcy.Nintendo then, cancelled it b/c the game would not warrant enough sales to counter the millions SK owed. Then, everyone left SK

wow, looked up some wikifacts on silicon knights and it would look like the company has a lot riding on this eternal game. after they were sued for 4.5mill$ they got about 5mill$ in Canadian federal grants to work on a game, hire a staff, and become self-sustaining (self-publishing). I imagine the reason dyack took an episodic approach is to try and get a return on the product as fast as possible while taking a wait and see approach to the success of the game so they don't spend any extra resources on a game that could be used on a back up plan.
