STFC Release in Doubt
Greetings gamers,
We at USA Games have some good and bad news for our fans of STFC. The
good news the game is practically complete and is pretty reliable. The
bad news is that recently we have discovered some security issues with
the product which is of grave concern to me inparticular. As a result
this security issue could set development back for months, and at the
least a few weeks.
Unfortunately, the nature of the issue forces USA Games to choose
between two options. the first option is to pay a quite a sum of money
to purchase licenses for pro grade security applications. The second
option USA Games rewrites STFC in a language in which this security hole
is not a factor. As USA Games does not currently have the funds for the
former choice it will likely come down to the second choice. However,
after just completing the game I am not in any mood to start over and
port the current game to something new.
As a result of this security discovery USA Games is haulting production
on all of our titles until a suitable security can be devised. It is
possible some projects may have to be rewritten from scratch, or at the
very least wait until USA Games has enough funds to complete them using
pro grade security software.
I hope that in the future USA Games will be able to bring some truly
awesome titles to you all, but for the time being we will be returning
to research and experiment. Once we have something we are sure will work
for us we will continue production of our titles.
Thanks, and happy gaming.
