It must suck to be a game developer.
I
applauded
Atari for releasing a 6 hour time limited version of Temple of
Elemental Evil on KaZaA. Now I learn that
Troika,
the developer,
doesn't know
about this release.
The kazaa version is not the demo. From what we can tell it is a
try-ware version of the game (6 hours of time limited gameplay). we
here at Troika are still trying to figure out what it is, who made it,
and how it differs from the store ToEE.
Troika spends two years of
creative energy developing a game. Atari/Infogrames
fronts the money and publishes it. And then the publisher makes
horrible decisions that screw the developers and the customer.
TOEE was released too early and now there's a fight over whether Atari
will allow Troika to make a patch.
I believe computer games are some of the most interesting commercial art being produced today. Shame to see the commercialism screw it up.
