Silicon Knights "Rumors" Squashed
Laptop Battery Due to the lack of information concerning the recent announcement of Silicon Knights ending its exclusivity deal with Nintendo, many were wondering about the validity of the story. Some had even thought up the possibility that it was all a marketing ploy for Eternal Darkness 2.
IGN's own Matt Cassamasina came out and was sure to put an end to such idle speculation. In tonights Q&A, Matt strongly reiterated that the story is true and that Denis Dyack as well as Nintendo have gone very much on record to say that the deal is done.
While Matt was unsure as to why such little details have been released, he refuted claims that it was due to the story being a "hoax" and emphatically stated that Denis had told him straight up that SK had left Nintendo in no uncertain terms.
Those who have talked to Denis about the issue have all stated that he has been quite forthcoming and honest and would most definately not make something like this up or even joke about it. Most do believe however that the final details of the arrangement will be unveiled at E3. Of course we at GCA will be there to get as many answers as we can.
There is of course a lot of second-guessing going around, and that is to be expected for such a shocking announcement with very few details accompanying it. Hopefully once the final situation is known, then things will be looking up for Silicon Knights, for they are a talented bunch of folks who deserve all the attention and name recognition that they can get.
We wish them the best of luck in whatever new endeavors they will attempt and hope to be discussing them soon.
According to the indictment, Jones would steal various IBM and Penguin computer servers from Verisign's warehouse in Virginia and sell them to Johnson. Johnson would then sell the servers to several individuals, who would sometimes place them for sale on eBay. As a result of this scheme, the indictment alleges that Jones and Johnson caused Verisign to lose more than $120, 000 worth of computer equipment. In the indictment, Jones and Johnson are charged in three counts with causing the interstate transportation of stolen property, namely IBM 330 and 335 servers, in violation of 18 U.S.C.
