Kunos Sold NetKar?
There is a report, currently a rumored report, that Kunos has sold the
rights to NetKar Pro or teamed up with another entity to continue work on the game. As some might know, NKP was released about 7 weeks ago. Kunos released one patch at the end of April, and since then has not been heard from. He replies to no forum questions nor, apparently, does he respond to email messages. This is really sad. The guy was hyped as some sort of bring-the-community-together guru. Now, allegedly, he's taken what cash he could from the initial sales of NKP and fled. Maybe something will come up soon about his intentions, but I doubt it. Here's the source of the rumor, at RSC: http://forum.rscnet.org/showthread.php?t=256936 Anyone with any idea about what might be going on? Alanb |

Don't know if it is sad or not. If his programming skills can be harnessed and partner with a group that will handle the business side it might be a good thing. Remember Kaemmer's attempts at PR (the cloning BMW saga) - best off sticking to developing racing sims. Do what people are good at. Kaemmer's products bought the sim together rather than the man. The silence could be for legal disclosure reasons or simple sensitivity of negotiations - at least that would be an explanation. Could go several ways - good or bad - I guess we will have to wait and see! Cheers Tony |

I was reading all the forum posts for NetKar at rsc.net last night and I'm just glad I never bought the product. All the people with problems with activation, not being able to contact this Kunos dude for new activations and the game being tied to your hardware just throws up a red flag. I even got a refund on rFactor as soon as I realised the game was tied to your hardware. Screw that silliness. Microsoft's BS with product activation and Genuine Advantage is all I can take of that malarky and I don't need some game giving me the same aggro. Take a look at Matrix Games to see didgital downloads done right. |
