Legend Entertainment Closing...? Goto page 1, 2  Next View next topic View previous topic  Unreal Ops Forum Index » Unreal Ops News Comments Author Message Mr. Brownstone UO Staff Joined: 19 May 2003 Posts: 129 Location: UK Posted: Fri Jan 16, 2004 10:42 pm Apologies for posting off my designated day, but I figured this needed airing. It appears that Shacknews is reporting that Wheel Of Time and Unreal II developers Legend Entertainment were closed down today by publishers Atari. No other further is available at this time, so it could still just be unfounded rumour. zenmaster Crazed Fan Joined: 17 Aug 2003 Posts: 282 Location: Wilmingtion, 1 1/2 hours from Epics office Posted: Fri Jan 16, 2004 11:26 pm No, it's true.... http://www.gamespot.com/pc/action/unrealiise/news_6086665.html Legends site and every thing is dead I have no clue what happend Zen _________________ When the enlightend is asked were he will go when he dies his reply is to hell for that is were the most help is needed.

Though unfortunately, this isn't the first time it's happened. Anyone else see the parallel with this and Sierra closing down Dynamix after Tribes2 had poor sales? This was a really sad thing for the tribes community, and i fear the same thing will happen to the Unreal community Well, here's to hopeing that the Legend guys startup a business and make atari wish they had never done this. _________________ [Peoii's Place] SELECT * FROM users WHERE clue > 0 0 Rows Returned. sneaky_usb UO Noob Joined: 03 Dec 2003 Posts: 10 Posted: Sat Jan 17, 2004 9:42 am sad news indeed. GG Legend. Guest Posted: Sat Jan 17, 2004 11:42 am Sux, but I would guess the the Legend's talanted employees will find work. I wish them all of the best and thank you for XMP. Just remember it was Atari's lame ass idea to take out multiplayer, which hurt sales, not yours.

I personally am staying in the industry and would assume that most others are as well. We'll do what we can to support XMP. There are obviously technical and legal restrictions to that now that it is no longer our product to support. I think they can take care of them selves.....

I think Microsoft Studios is going to handal it from now on...is Microsoft the lesser of those two Evils?
