    That's an interesting comment, Kumu. You "don't doubt many of the things said actually happened", but you "find that story to lack any semblance of "Truth""? Eh?

    If the events happened or not, but you don't doubt them, what part of the rest of the story DO you doubt?

    Personally, as I have said before, the truth lies somewhere in the middle between the two stories.

    Spare me another David Allen rant - In the 5 years he ran Pharao Productions (or whatever it was called), the only thing they managed to produce was a lousy dungeon crawl. His original idea for Hz was nice, but by no means practical, and I also doubt his abilities as a game designer...

    I have never really been interested in game developers and Iam certainly not interested in this story, but after reading only 1 part of the story who says that there is absolutely no truth in it...

    I think this is a sad story, weather it be retold or not. To me this is the first time hearing this side. And so far there is alot more supporting this side than the other side.
    I feel really bad for DA cause this is something I see in the game industry alot. ALOT.

    I don't believe that story to be the complete truth of all that happened either. Is there truth in it, I'm sure there is as truth can be strecthed anyway you like it. But, I don't for one second by into David Allen being nothing but a victim of it all, as a matter of fact I remember reading of some pretty crappy things DA did and examples of his crappy attitude while in charge. I'm sure that was full of strecthed truths also, so who knows what to believe when we don't have everyone elses stories to compare it to, and even if we did who could you really believe?

    As far as I'm concerned everyone who had their hands into this game before it hit release bares equal responsibility for its outcome, leaving only the true victims the players themselves. So, none of them will be getting any pitty from me - period. As interesting as all the drama was, at this point I've choosen to walk away from it all and not look back anymore. I enjoy Horizons now for what it is, and for what I hope it will become.

    Oh I know what you guys mean, but I am one that gives people the benifit of the doubt. I think DA got more kicks in the butt than butts he kicked.

    Looking over the old design docs makes me want that game. :)
