A response that has to be made about SFI

[David E. Gervais]

Brad,

Thank you very much for this post. I really aprieciate your helping to clear things up.

Perhaps I should have worded one key phrase in my previous posts in the other thread.. "We do not know the details of what happened."

From reading your post We all now have a better idea of what happened. Thank you once more for your response.

I'm glad to hear that at least 'since the bankruptcy' you have been getting royalties. The (now ovbious) fact that SFI has not made any attempts to make good on their past bebts is very uncharacteristic of Don. I cannot help but think that the 'Government Commitee' that was overseeing SFI at that time is wholly responsible for the old debts not being paid.

As far as I know 'Bankruptcy Protection' does not 'release' or 'forgive' any past debts. it is a law in place simply to allow companies to do restructuring and take any drastic measures in a last ditch effort to turn things around.

Anyways, I'm glad Stardock has 'survived' this fiasco. I hope your new GalCiv2 sets new records in sales. You desreve it and so does your talented dev team.

Be well, and Cheers!

Heh, I think it's already made records in sales. Now off to play it some more, and devastate my opponent with my juggernauts.

Thank you all for posting. The more we know the less we argue.

Hi David,

Thanks for the response.

As for Strategy First paying back what they owed prior to bankruptcy, they won't. Legally, bankruptcy wipes the books.
