Might be a different matter as far as the rest of the world is concerned though.

They're of the "small, but steadily growing" type. They've previously only done UK (and occasionally elsewhere) titles, publishing
Beyond Divinity,
Trackmania,
Savage,
Chaos League,
Sherlock Holmes,
The Moment of Silence and
Freedom Force vs the Third Reich in the UK.
Bet on Soldier was to be their attempt to break into the US market.
As for the email, I wouldn't have believed it had it not been sent to the email address that I've used around the Digital Jesters website, and had the press release since also not found its way onto GamesPress. And if I hadn't heard of the troubles that wael had had (I saw an advert in a magazine about a range of budget releases suggesting that the Holmes game was being republished by a different company), I would have had difficulty accepting the accusation. As far as customers are concerned - except for their use of
Starforce - Digital Jesters have been nothing less than very, very good.
