I don’t feel I have much to apologize for on MMO Fallout as I stand by my statements and comments, and very rarely do I make a factual error. On the other hand, it is equally rare that a procession of articles succeed in embarrassing me as much as the Derek Smart/David Allen series of events that began last year when Alganon officially launched. I’m going to reiterate what I said in March when I wrote up “We’re ****ing Done Professionally,”
“I can only apologize to anyone who disliked reading this as much as I disliked writing it.”
Since Derek Smart has taken over leadership, Alganon has gained significant exposure in the gaming marketplace. By parroting Derek Smart’s initial reaction to David Allen’s lawsuit, I’m not sure what exposure Mr. Smart may be referring to. Out of all of the news I have seen on Alganon, the grand majority has to do with the lawsuits and, in a solely news aspect, Alganon has been barely featured at all.
Suffice to say, the train has departed the station, and there is no going back for my coverage of all things (well…not all things) Alganon, essentially until the game shuts down. I won’t allow myself to just stop writing about a game just because I happen to dislike the rhetoric being thrown around every time I get something to work with relevant to MMO Fallout.
It feels like only yesterday that Derek Smart was on the scene, reminding not only us but David Allen that Quest Online would be bringing legislation against him. Quest Online announced that they are filing a countersuit to David Allen’s defamation lawsuit. In the claim, QOL alleges pretty much what Derek Smart has been saying in the past: That Allen locked QOL out of critical Alganon systems when he was fired, that another employee gave him access to the company’s funds, among other allegations.
More on all things Alganon that has nothing to do with Alganon as it appears.
