Hi all, I'm coming to this post a bit late, but please let's stop the flaming here. No matter how we all feel about the unfortunate situation with James North, what was it, six years ago its really passed time to put it behind us. I can understand your frustration with some list members such as Shaun but ripping him a new one on list isn't the way to handle it. :D
Ibrahim, regarding the games James North had in production I said this before and I will say it again I am certain it wasn't his intent to take the money and run. After all, I have in my possession the source code for three different games he was working on, and know for a fact he was working on them. However, it is my belief the stress, the pressure, the demands of certain individuals in this community that resulted in him just throwing in the towel and walking away from it all. Leaving as he did was wrong, but its also understandable. End of story.
