I would say that if Matrix is using any copyrighted images in screenshots, since those are technically advertisements, that's breaking the law.

I'm an indie game developer, I've been following MF since it was first posted about on football-gaming.com 5 years ago, and I have to say that this will be a fucking trainwreck.

Virtually everything you can do wrong in releasing a game they've done it.

Multiple missed release dates spanning YEARS, the developer insulting other products, the developer getting pissy with customers, the developer's WIFE coming on the forums expecting the customers to feel sorry for a man creating a game to release to make money off of. I'm sorry but when you decide to charge for your game you're not longer in hobbyist territory, run with the big dogs or get the fuck out of the way. The developer has posted PUBLICLY that he almost quit on the project 2-3 times in the past month, you don't tell your customers that you idiot.

Actively working on the game code all the way up til release date. Uh, NO.

Showing videos and screenshots without screening them first for errors, bugs, or other things that may cast a negative reflection on the game. Completely bushleague.

Multiple other comments DW had no business making public.

Oh, and for those of you who don't know what happened with his CFL game. The way it was explained to me was that CFL '99 was released barely playable, DW got mad at all the negative criticism, promised a patch to fix all of the issues, then out of nowhere removed the game from the online store and labeled it as "SOLD OUT". Next thing you know he's working on a new game. Based on his posts I would doubt his maturity level has improved to the point to expect anything else this time around. Even if Matrix put into their publishing contract with him that he has to support the game for a certain amount of time, he can still release crap patches and find a way to wiggle out of it.

I've really tried to be supportive of DW through all the delays and missed release dates because I believe that Indie game dev's should support other indie's. As soon as he ripped the text sim guys that went out of the window. Pompous ass.

I'm just watching and shaking my head at all of this. I'm really hoping I'm wrong, I'll gladly eat crow to see another football game hit the market that is enjoyable to play. I think that's a pipe dream at this point, atleast for MF.

Oh, and does this mean war? Someone is claiming we're god's gift. (Of course we are, but that has got to be Dolamite or something)http://www.blindsideblitz.com/forums...ad.php?t=14407

I see the likes of Dean Houston, Hornsmaniac and Wig over at the Maxim Football Forum, is the world coming to an end or something?

BTW, does anyone have any idea WTF Football Manager is that is listed on Amazon? I assume its Football Mogul, but for $10 I might just buy it to find out.
