This time it wasn't Lord Anubis that is causing troubles for Stargate Worlds. Instead, it's lack of cash. (And we aren't talking space-bucks. Nope, just ole plain-Jane U.S currency.)
While it could only be a petty squabble or small misunderstanding, it seems that Cheyenne Mountain Entertainment, developer of in-progress Stargate Worlds, is being sued by data center business called IO Capital Princess, for an unpaid bill.
This isn't the first time Cheyenne Mountain has been in the red either. Late last year, a widely circulated story stated that they were unable to pay all of their employees, and another news story stated that were actively searching for new investors.
Stargate Worlds is Cheyenne Mountain Entertainment's first game. MMORPG development is notoriously difficult and expensive so it could prove challenging for Cheyenne Mountain Entertainment to deliver. However, they do have one big thing going for them, for sure: there are about five zillion Stargate fans who might be interested in playing a Stargate MMORPG.
Hopefully the company will be able to see through project to the end. And hopefully they'll be able to launch it, without too many bugs, or shortages of content -- a situation which has been the bane of many a MMORPG.
