I agree with Iv4n on this one; in fact, it's something I talked to Colin about a few times in the past (I'm the "Liz" in his SubChan post). IMHO, trying to keep a low profile has worked against them from the get-go, depriving them of strong fan support and causing them problems in attracting team members. And since they were directly talking with Vivendi anyway, it's not like they were even *trying* to hide until they were done.

If they'd gone the KQIX route, they'd also have enough fan support and industry exposure to be able to rally under this. As it is... I don't see how they're going to get Vivendi to listen. Even if they do form a game company, Vivendi's still not going to allow them to simply release the game without some sort of corporate mucking or signing over of rights.

I feel bad about this since Colin's a great guy, but... this is at least one place where the KQIX team got it right, I think. *shrug*

Peace & Luv, Liz
