Huh. Since when did Spiderweb start outsourcing its games? Reflexive Arcade just added it to its game list, and it says it was developed by Oberon Media. :confused: They even used the screenshots from the Avernum page. They have a 14.22MB trial and you can buy the full version for $19.95. Unless you, the management, are getting some sort of royalties from this, I suggest you take it up with them. here's the link: http://www.reflexive.com/AvernumIV.html heh. registered for the sole purpose of telling you this...

I'm going to inform Jeff of this by E-mail tomorrow unless one of you does it first. I guarantee you this is illegal. -------------------- Thuryl: I mean, most of us don't go around consuming our own bodily fluids, no matter how delicious they are. ==== Alorael: War and violence would end if we all had each other's babies! ==== Drakefyre: Those are hideous mangos.

This proves that SpidWeb games are games not to be trifled with lightly.. -------------------- Oh you're a cute Adze-Haakai you are.. Posts: 732 | Registered: Saturday, June 24 2006 07:00 |

Yes, but didn't the Toshiba site at least credit Spiderweb? Whoever these Oberon folks are, I don't think Jeff's with them. -------------------- Thuryl: "Runescape: for people who are too stupid to save their games." Gamble with Gaea, and she eats your dice.

There's a good chance that the game is properly licensed, but I'd bet Jeff would rather have credit given to the right company. —Alorael, who on the other hand wouldn't be terribly surprised if this incarnation of the third party sales is theft. Any above-board seller should, in fact, give credit to the right company. Posts: 14579 | Registered: Saturday, December 1 2001 08:00 |

Completely 100% legit. It's not the first time we've let other companies distribute our games either. We get paid. No worries. - Jeff Vogel -------------------- Official Board Admin spidweb@spiderwebsoftware.com Posts: 960 | Registered: Tuesday, September 18 2001 07:00 |

In that case, the attribution to "Oberon Media" may just be a misfiling error... -------------------- Encyclopaedia • Archives • Members • RSS [Topic / Forum] • Blog • Polaris • NaNoWriMo Look on my works, ye mighty, and despair. | I have a love of woodwind instruments.

Oberon Media is listed as having developed so many games, it must itself be a sort of redistributor. Jeff's deal is probably with them, rather than with the linked site directly. -------------------- We're not doing cool. We're doing pretty.

Just curious, how much royalties do you receive for letting them distribute your games? -------------------- "640K ought to be enough for anybody." -- Bill Gates, 1981 It's time to meet your maker! Posts: 152 | Registered: Monday, November 6 2006 08:00 |

I was getting worried. Well, I am still going to buy the games from the Spiderweb Website. Doing that helps more to supporting the company. And no support=by by to one of the best game companies. -------------------- I can transform into almost anything, though not sanity.
