I do not think the development team of this product had any knowledge of what was going on between Aspect Simulations and Destineer/TakeTwo/The Gathering.
On the IGN website the Wings of War developer was listed as Silver Wish Games. I have found no information as to who these people are. I looked at the screen shots for Wings of Honour made by City Interactive and while there were many elements that looked the same in the two sets of screen shots, I'm not 100 percent sure that Wings of War is a re-packaged job of Wings with Honour. It might be, but I'm not yet sure.
I do not recommend a boycott of any kind. It won't help us at Aspect. It won't affect the decision makers at TakeTwo/The Gathering. If getting a copy of Wings of War (card game or xbox/pc) gives you a chance to have some fun with your son, do so with my blessings. Just set aside some money so that you can also play our project A when it comes out as well . KOE revised should follow a few months after that.
I thought about spelling out in great detail all the things we, Aspect Simulations, did right and all the things they, the publisher, did wrong and how the influence of TakeTwo as the parent company, and the Gathering as the distributor listed in our contract, had a big impact on what happened to KOE and the stopping ( I mean delay) of it's development ... but I decided this forum is not the place and I'm not the person to make charges against others.
It's written, "Do not take revenge, my friends, but leave room for God's wrath, for it is written: "It's mine to avenge; I will repay," says the Lord.
Before they changed their name and let themselves be taken over by TakeTwo, The Gathering called themselves G.O.D. which was suppose to stand for gathering of developers. When little god meets big God, it should not be much of a contest.
