Sorry for going quiet, life's been hectic for me recently.
I just read the interview you put up, Yonkey. I admit, though I too had heard that Activision had no idea who you all were, it still disappoints me that everything seems to have been treated so casually by them. Not being an industry insider, I wonder if this is a typical thing for companies like this? I also wonder how high this opinion goes up in the Activision food chain. Is it possible that anyone higher than the Legal/PR departments has absolutely no clue about TSL and what's going on? (You'd be surprised at the density of some corporate folks.)
In any case, I'm glad you're getting a response, Waltz. I knew there'd be something, given a bit of time. I also need to sit down this evening and write my own letter to Activision about this mess. If I can finish it, I'll get it to you ASAP.
ETA: Hate to waste my keystokes, but I wanted to respond to Mr. Concern Troll upthread.
So this thread is still going? 
It reminds me of the hilarious times I had reading the fan posts on the 3DRealms forums. ...you know, the people that refused to admit that DNF was vaporware. Good times.
Seriously though, I'm a huge KQ fan and I was looking forward to TSL for years. But frankly, I just don't care to help when the team isn't even interested in helping themselves. You guys still can't even repost your website and defend your basic rights. Instead, you expect Activision to care when your fans do the only thing you approve of... sign pointless petitions and mail tens of letters. They wouldn't even spend minimum wage on someone to throw your letters away; they'll let the interns do it. At least you gave Activision a good 10-second chuckle when they saw just how quickly you fall for nonsense scare tactics.
To the 30 or so visitors still clinging to a shred of hope that Activision will waste even 2 minutes to reconsider... I hope, for everyone's sake, that I'm wrong. But unfortunately, I'm not. A year from now, this site will be empty or completely gone and Activision will have forgotten what TSL even was (if they haven't already).
Good luck anyway.
Ha. Buddy, you have no idea what you're talking about.
The reason DNF failed so dramatically isn't even in the same galaxy as why Activision issued their C&D. 3D Realms' efforts went belly-up due (in a nutshell) largely due to Broussard's large ego and his lack of proper planning, as shown in this Wired article
http://www.wired.com/magazine/2009/12/fail_duke_nukem/. In contrast, this C&D is largely due to a company being penny-wise and pound-foolish. The past few months have shown that Activision is willing to tick off their fan base in the name of profits, even as they tout superior motives.
If you come back in a year, will things be different? Don't know, it's tough to say. I will say, that a lot of us may still be here. Why? Because we're a community. We're here because we enjoy the company and the atmosphere. I know if this forum remains and the game is still unable to be released, I'll come back and talk to others. I love this community, even if I've done more reading than posting. But we're all gonna do our best to get this rolling again, because if we don't, if we assume the game would never be released, then it won't. If we give up, they win by default.
