Neil is on hiatus from the team right now.

Don't have time to read the article right now, but hopefully that is what you were asking.


Whew, yeah that is what I needed to know.  I was worried that something happened to him.  Thank you for the information.
No problem.

We have no way of knowing what Activision will do and it doesn't matter at this point since the team will clearly not ignore the C&D.  What matters is what we are going to do now- let them impale us prison style or do something about it.
Yep.  And we are doing something about it.  We need activision to notice us.  That is the first step.  And it appears to be working.

Can you give us any more details about Activision noticing you or is it just the same news as before.

I suppose someone could go walk up and down outside their office with a sign.  That'd get somebody's attention!  Or it might convince them that all King's Quest fans need to be locked in a padded room...

Sadly I'm too far away to try that, and thus limited to email, paper mail and phone.

It is the same news as before. I am continuing to send the petition letters as well as calling Activision on a regular basis. The operator knows what The Silver Lining is now. She sorta huffs a bit when she has to look it up. Keep your chins up everyone we will fight this until the end. No matter what it takes.

In the May 2010 Game Informer, you see an article about Activision and the lawsuit over the 2 medal of honor guys that were the final people to sign off.  Maybe Activision will be investigated by DOJ after there done fixing Apple's Pride of wanting to only use their decoding formats like H264 instead of Flash.  Yes, Flash is not secure so hopefully developers will focus on what is really good.  Perhaps a format like Ogg Vorbis could take off.

"Given the overwhelming community support for the Silver Lining project," a company statement released to Kotaku on Sunday read, "Activision is in discussions with Phoenix Online Studios about allowing them to continue to finish the game and then release it to their fans."

This is a very good sign...!

EDIT: I added a blog post about this development to my site too.

Cool, so TSL will come out after all. Yay, a few more months.

At least they're talking, finally.

I want a TSL shirt too! :D

I've been following TSL since the very beginning.  I support you all 100% and wish you the best for whatever happens.  Crossing my fingers for you all! :)

This is the most encouraging news I could pop onto the forums and see.  It's not a definite go-ahead, but it is definitely promising from a fan's perspective.  As always, I'm wishing the TSL team the best, and I hope that Activision listens to you all and lets the project be finished.

And if they don't, I might still have a trick or two up my sleeve.  ;)

This is very exciting news indeed!  I especially like the David versus Goliath theme the article sports... not only is it very fitting and appropriate, but it sends home the message that no matter how bad things get, you can always make a difference.  :)

This is what we have been waiting for! Finally they are talking to the team. The power of the people is what many countries have been founded upon and its nice to think that foundation still stands. I have said this many times, we can do anything if we hope, believe and dream.

Dream on all and let your night be peaceful, quiet and relaxed in the bliss of Dreamland.

Well, hey!  That's great news!  I'll be keeping my fingers crossed that everything gets worked out.  With any luck, this will be out by my 21st birthday!  Which would be fantastic.  At this point, I'd rather get TSL on my computer than a legal drink in my hand...so that's saying something!

waltzdancing

That is saying something for you PJ. Maybe you can have a drink legally along with TSL. That would make you super happy.

This is awesome!!! Folks, we may have done it!

Go home or I'll stick you with my sword 'til you go, 'Ouch! I'm dead!' Ah-ha-ha!" Ha-ha. *hic* See? Ain't no one gonna be messin' wit' ol', Benny!
