Pretty damn chilling insight into 'Old' Majesco

[twmac]

I've bought quite a few of Majesco's games on the strength that they published Psychonauts and also Advent Rising (that was flawed but had some really good moments).

Apparently they are just as ruthless as the rest of them, don't know why I'm surprised:

Whatever I do I can't seem to go back to page 1. Is that supposed to happen?

Wow, that totally sucks. Perhaps the only reason this didn't happen to Double Fine was because of Tim's relative renown in the industry.

Pathetic.

Boojaka, if you head to the Escapist's page they should have it in their current editorial under 'CyberPunked'.

It is really difficult for me because now I feel a little guilty for giving Majesco my money. What I mean is that if they had been successful they would have continued these acts and the woman who wrote the piece probably would not have been allowed to write about Black9 and her experiences because Majesco would have sued her.

And at the same time, how often does this sort of thing happen? Having only worked as part of an Independant QA department I don't often get to witness the interactions between Devs and Publishers.
