I’ve been asked from many corners lately to provide an official response to a story circulated by Gateworld.net. I spoke with Darren Sumner, the author of the story, soon after it was posted and gave him a detailed response to the article which he decided not to publish.
Our official response is that the lights here are still on and the development team is working hard every day to get this game built. Team members are in the office seven days a week to deliver Stargate Worlds. Brad Wright is the Stargate expert and a creative consultant on Stargate Worlds who advises us on the story; unfortunately we had not recently updated him on our progress or the impact from the current global economic crisis, and he was not fully aware of the continuing progress on our game.
It’s true that the production of Stargate Worlds has been significantly impacted by the greatest worldwide economic downturn in decades, but we are still raising enough money from angel investors to keep the dev team working.
We are currently negotiating several deals that will cover our financial responsibilities and fund the remainder of development. When we sign those deals, you’ll hear about it. Until then, we’ll keep building Stargate Worlds, because right now, that’s the only thing that matters to us.
Yeah still waiting on that beta key that I you told TTH you would give to Premium Memebers that signed up for it...who knows maybe one day.

I don't see anything new here at all. It's all still smoke and mirrors. I can put a statement out on my site that my game is still in development too, but that don't mean squat.
If they want to convince people that the game is still in development then they need to do more than release some photoshopped images, and if they want people to trust who is developing the game then they need to offer proof that CME/FireSky is no longer being controlled by Gary Whiting. In fact they need to show proof that he's no longer associated with either entity at all.
That an an official apology to those they ran off for speaking out about all the shady goings on. Until they do officially apologize they're nothing but low lives themselves, no matter how nice they try to be now.

Why would they apologize for something they never admitted to doing? CME has always said they had nothing to do with that other company as far as I know, if I'm wrong please provide linkage thanks.
