Histwar

Yep, as a marketing scumbag, it's basic knowledge to me that especially when imparting negative news, the means of delivery is more important than the message itself. The lock up was petulant to say the least and bizarre given the way that the BFC fan community was built on open communication and offering that difference of relationship from the big game houses.

Got a big scare with cancellation message, glad JMM still intends to publish.

I have to agree with the others here the announcement of the split could have been handled better.

Pity but one has to imagine how many anticipated release dates can one have? I hope JMM will eventually get it off the ground.

Does anyone have the link for JMM's french site pls?
Thanks

Given the circumstances we should not post the link to JMMs site here, I think.
Google is your friend.

Guys, I think Thomm said it best:

Obviously they do not want Histwar to use up any more company resources now that the parted with JMM. Understandable. I also understand that a lot of BFC forumites are offended by BFC closing down that forum. At the moment, I fail to see a possible compromise.

We are in the business of promoting and publishing wargames. Not all wargames out there, only the ones we publish. We will not publish HistWar, therefore we no are no longer promoting it. HistWar received enough promotion from us over the last 5 years so it should be understandable that we aren't interested in extending that promotion.

As for our notification that the project is "cancelled"... it is as far as we are concerned. Will it be published eventually? We have no idea. After 4 years of waiting we've decided not to wait any more.

Since we have a confidentiality agreement with HistWar's creator, and he has one with us, that's about all we can say without being in violation. The gossipers amongst you may wish to fill in the gaps with factless speculation, but we would prefer it not be done here. As the owners and operators of this Forum we have the right to make that decision.

In conclusion... HistWar is cancelled from Battlefront's perspective. We are contractually unable to provide any details, other than to say that we regret that it came to this. Since there is nothing more to be said about it, I'm locking this thread up. For those of you who wish to continue discussing HistWar, please find an alternative venue for it.
