Maybe if this is tried again a company with a HQ in North America can try and promote the game. For obvious reason SI always had trouble doing so.

And now perhaps SI can pick up that Formula One game which has been in development for half a decade

And does this mean Markus is moving back to Germany?
Similar to how I felt. I think SI were genuine in intent but flawed in execution. Without piling on here there was similar criticism that EHM Hockey Manager got no publicity/sales in Canada, where it should have done well.

However Marc Duffy is a good guy and Markus got a lot out of this deal while keeping ownership of the code.

I do wonder how Markus and Andreas will keep up. Say what you will, there were several SI people involved in certain parts of the beta test program.

A new start, best wishes to all.
