The breakup of Perpetual Entertainment has been a messy, messy affair. The death of Gods and Heroes, the uncertainty over Star Trek Online, and former Perpetual PR representatives Kohnke's lawsuit were all signs of MMO development gone horribly wrong. Thankfully, it seems as though these threads are quickly sorting themselves out.
After Perpetual made some cranky throat-clearing noises early yesterday, saying the whole thing was "ambiguous and unintelligible", they must have decided it wasn't quite that ambiguous after all. Shacknews is reporting that Kohnke has dropped its suit after the two parties found some sort of mutual resolution.
As might be expected, the particulars of the agreement are not forthcoming. The initial suit was for some $300,000, and with its conclusion that sounds like it may be some of the last news we'll hear about Perpetual for the time being.
You know why don't we just raise the money and develop it ourselves. All we need is:
Knowledge to buiild it
trek power to follow through
money to make it happen
tools to build it.
Back in 1995 I had an idea to do this. I was only 15 so that idea went no where. Th concept of Star Trek Online is a sound idea. If we can develop it for PC, MAC, X Box 360, and PS3 even better. The demographic we could reach would be huge. Well just an Idea anyway.
