As much as I’d hate for it to seem like I’m coming out of blargging-retirement just to talk about how Stargate: Resistance and Stargate Worlds developer Cheyenne Mountain Entertainment is filing for Chapter 11, and it really is more of a coincidence than anything, I practically feel required to talk about this one.
I’ve been skeptical about Stargate Worlds ever since I first heard about it. I enjoy Stargate. It was a fun movie, followed by a very fun show, and then followed by two other shows of varying quality. By no means have I wanted to see the game fail, but I’ve never really felt that Stargate had the right set up for an MMO. When Cheyenne Mountain reportedly ceased paying their employees, I became even more skeptical. Then there was the whole lawsuit thing over unpaid bills, and… well, CME’s history hasn’t been smooth so far.
Now it appears that they are filing for bankruptcy, which is usually not a good sign. That said, the company has stated that they are restructuring and the development of both of their games will not halt.
That means we might have a chance to step through the gate in spite of this.
Maybe.
